This is not a probability of success.

Might be a bit more of a headache to find someone to fill the holes than it would be to find someone to weld steel.

That means I'm back to the thought of having to replace the hatch to remove the added spoiler.

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.

POST 1Original post

As I start looking a bit more seriously at what is currently available in a used Cayman , I've seen a couple of nice looking 987.2 cars that have had an R rear spoiler added. That's not my style, so I want to know - does the R spoiler leave holes in the deck lid when it is removed? Do I need to avoid cars with that upgrade?

POST 2Original post

Yes if you remove it that will have mounting holes in the hatch… I guess look for the S model with the electric wing

POST 3Original post

I'm not looking at Rs, I'm looking at S models with the R wing retrofitted.

POST 4Original post

Ya I corrected before you saw it… yup I’d just find a regular S or base model without…unless you either fix the holes or just get another hatch without and keep both

POST 5Original post

Supply of spare hatch lids in these parts is slim-to-none. Having to ship a used one from somewhere seems both expensive, and unlikely to get it here w/o damage. Probably far cheaper to have the holes welded up and the hatch refinished. I'll just need to allow for that in negotiations.

POST 6Original post

Ya good point… there’s always a few on evil bay

POST 7Original post

The lids are aluminum, though. Might be a bit more of a headache to find someone to fill the holes than it would be to find someone to weld steel. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

POST 8Original post

Oh, I didn't know that. That means I'm back to the thought of having to replace the hatch to remove the added spoiler. I probably will want to not consider cars that have been updates with R spoilers.

POST 9Original post

The hatches are not aluminum… magnets stick to them like glue… they are steel. Besides there is a 10lb weight under the plastic trim on the hatch so you wouldn’t think Porsche would make a light hatch and attach a weight to it 🤷‍♂️

POST 10Original post

My quite strong magnet gets zilch on the front and back lids of my 987.2 Boxster , consistent with many reports (e.g. “Thanks to careful weight control (among which is the introduction of aluminum boot lid and magnesium frame for hood cover), the [987] Boxster gains just 20kg.” Porsche Boxster 986 / 987 . But if you’re lucky with the color, replacements may be cheaper than expected: https://www.redlineautoparts.com/po...7/2005-2012-porsche-987-boxster-s-trunk-lid-panel-arctic-silver-metallic-bc006/ .

No idea on a boxster… I was talking cayman which is what the OP was talking about.. yes the front boot lid is aluminum
