Hello: I just purchased a 2005 Boxster and the previous owner left a large CD case holder under the passenger seat and from moving the seat forward and back the drive motor came disconnected from the left hand drive rail mechanism.

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 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Hello: I just purchased a 2005 Boxster and the previous owner left a large CD case holder under the passenger seat and from moving the seat forward and back the drive motor came disconnected from the left hand drive rail mechanism. I have been able to remove the back two torx screws from the back rail. But unable to find the two front torx screws for the front rails, I have removed the plastic cover over the front rails. The seat is stuck in the forward position. Is access to the front two torx screws from underneath the car, under the plastic cover? Any assistance will be much appreciated. Thank you; Gerd

POST 2Original post

They are at the front end of the rail facing forward at an angle. You will need to move the seat back to access them. You should be able to move the seat even though the back ones are removed.
