Some folks say to use dental floss to saw your way through the adhesive, then something like "Goof Off" to remove the remaining adhesive from the paint.

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.

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

0 evidence records excluded for query context · 0 excluded by outcome qualification · 0 adjusted by outcome qualification.

0 acknowledgements have no verified action link; they do not establish a repair result.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

does anyone have any idea where to purchase a 1997 boxster repair manual. the autozones and checker's do not carry. i also am looking for some help to replace the wording "boxster" on the rear hatch of my car. it looks like the beginning of the letter "b" was broken off. how is the emblem attached to car and how to remove and replace? thanks bruce

POST 2Original post

Bruce: 1. Repair manuals can be had on Ebay... I see them all the time. Do inquire as to what they cover, if they're paper or in PDF format on a disk, and if they're in PDF format if you can do word searches (a parts catalog I have for my boxster in PDF is all pictures and the type cannot be recognized... forcing me to look through all 350 pages every time I need something!). 2. The boxster badge can be had at the dealership for $18 or so. Choose your color, black, silver or matte silver. I never had one on mine and think it's stealthy—some folks come up and ask me what on earth I am driving because it has no badge on the back. I like that.

POST 3Original post

The "Boxster" emblem is adhesive-backed, so it justs sticks on. Some folks say to use dental floss to saw your way through the adhesive, then something like "Goof Off" to remove the remaining adhesive from the paint. The little tail on the "B" broke off on mine too, but I was able to stick it back on without too much trouble. You have to be really careful when washing/polishing in this area, because the cloth will snag, and goodbye emblem.

POST 4Original post

I'm with Randall; the car is "stealthier" without the decal. In the parking lot on post I heard one guy ask his friend, "What kind of car is that?" as I drove past. His friend replied "Looks like a Porsche...sounds like a Porsche too." I think that the intrigue makes my car more distinct, as it isn't tattooed with plastic badges and decals like other cars.

This is a source reference. Confirm exact model applicability in the original material.
