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.

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.

So I have been diabetic for 40 years. Insulin....the whole 9 yards. So the latest thing that needed addressing was blood pressure. The meds say I have to limit exposure to sun as much as possible. In the last 2 years I have spent 10K making the 986 as bullet proof as possible, but turns out I'M not bullet proof. So I guess I either drive it like I was a vampire or sell, because top up is just depressing......
Well in case you didn't know driving at night with the top down under the stars is just as good if not better than the sun......especially in the country (Indiana!?!).
The glow of the headlights, in fog, on a dark country road is magical. For fun you can hit the headlight washers....and blam you get an amazing light show
Don't be ridiculous, put the top up! No matter what you replace it with, you'll still have to drive around like you're a vampire, but it won't be a Boxster. Around here I drive with the top up most of the time because it's either too cold for a convertible, or if the sun's out in summer, the high altitude makes the sun too intense. I even bought a hard top that I use 7 months of the year. Plenty of people drive Boxsters around with the top up without feeling depressed
!
Besides vampires are all the rage now
.
Keep it and do what others say. Hat, sunscreen and night driving. Some things are not worth sacrificing. The enjoyment the Boxster brings you is one of them.
Huh, been a HCT user for a couple decades and did not notice any sun sensitivity at all.
I have a nice socal tan to boot. Perhaps it will not effect you or your body may adapt after the initial breakin period.
No reason to sell. If you need top down time, go racing and wear a helmet, much more secure than a hat.
I find top up just as fun but enjoy cloudy top down days the most.
