Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

1 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Dear enthusiasts/owners, I own a 99 Boxster w/27K miles. Purchased it used last year and was too excited to notice the scuff marks on the soft-top. After sometime, I began noticing that other boxsters DO NOT have these wear and tear signs. Took it to the dealer and they told me it was normal. Brought it in this morning for my 30K service and told them that I wasn't satisfied with the problem. The scuff marks are common on the side where the convertible top folds but I also have 3 other one-inch "scrathces" on the top and is identical on the left and right. Also, there is "almost" a puncture circle on both sides too. Fabric is salient/protruding/torn on this circle. If anyone on this forum has/is experienced(ing) the same problem, do advice/direct/guide me on what to tell my dealer. My warranty runs out in May 2003. Thanks in advance. Le jolie rogue
