Boxster S 987 - heavy rain causing alarm to go off and more
Discussion
Just been awoken by my alarm going off, the rear lights are on permanently and the windows down by say 4 inches, starts up fine and I can close the windows, I'm unable to open the boot and the dash is reporting a system and rear spoiler fault. Took it for a spin around the block all seems well engine wise but the interior lights flick on/off at will and the brake light is still on.
The roof won't operate but the rear cover has now come up and stuck also, the windows didn't drop as expected and the tail lights are still on.
Any ideas?

Hmmm sounds about right, carpet soaking could be the drains I guess but the windows were down by 6 inches in pouring rain... AA here first thing, not much the could do to be fair but followed me to the OPC (Wilmslow) gave them a some info and brought me home, will ring the OPC tomorrow.
Weird thing the spoiler had gone down and the convertible clam had also this morning.

I have extended warranty yes, however I spoke to the OPC this morning and they were a little cagey as to whether this would be covered or not until they have investigated further.
I'm not sure what the position is on the drain holes - if they are blocked and the car is under warranty will they honour this? That seems to be the crux of the issue at the moment, I explained both driver and passenger windows were down by 6 inches in torrential rain so the car interior was soaking anyways.
Why the windows went down is the question that may drive the warrantly claim, any advice here is appreciated.
I asked about rough costs if the warranty wouldn't be honoured (I'll be challenging this if it comes to this), they said the ECU was around £600 which they think would need replacing anyway given the faults plus somewhere between £1000 and £1400 to strip, dry and rebuild the interior.
Fingers crossed they'll just do the work without any issue.
