Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

0 discussions have direct query context; 0 report a fix in that context. Other evidence may inherit the discussion’s subject.

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.

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

POST 1Original post

I have had my Cayman now for 4 months and have noticed that some of the soft touch plastic is blistering... On the plastic trim behind the seat... not on the seat but by the engine shelf... the part where the handle is between the two seats. I also have noticed other areas where it has either cracked or scratched on the door panels... Does anyone know if this is covered under warranty? The crack and blistering look like it could be covered under warranty scratches obviously not. I've owned a VW with the same plastic back a while ago. Although it feels nice, it wears poorly. Doesn't help that I have Sand Beige... I notice every little flaw. BTW, I keep the car super clean and baby the thing. The scratches were from the first owner. I treat the interior once a month. Let me know if you have had a similar problem or know anybody that has. TIA, D

POST 2Original post

BTW... does anyone know how much door panels run? Non-Bose... Non-Full Leather... Sand Beige.

POST 3Original post

Do you by any chance wear sunscreen or other lotions? It was discovered long ago (by Boxster owners) that sunscreen is death for soft touch plastics; it will cause the very bubbling, blistering and peeling you're seeing.

POST 4Original post

Nope... no sunscreen... I live in the NW... we don't see the sun here Interesting info though

POST 5Original post

Haven't seen complaints about wax, but in general 986 Boxster owners learned early on not to put anything on it and if anything even vaguely oily got on it to wipe it off as soon as possible.

POST 6Original post

So should you not put any type of interior dressings or protectants on the plastics? Is there a "safe/not safe" list?

POST 7Original post

I'm not sure about a safe/unsafe list, but that's been the general guideline for the soft touch plastics in the 986 - just leave them alone. Some have had luck with water-based products, but I just don't see the need.
