These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

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.

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

POST 1Original post

Dropping a quick note and wanted to say hello and also thank you. I lurked on this forum for awhile while shopping for 987's and the wealth of knowledge helped tremendously in my purchase. Looking forward to doing some basic wrenching on my 987 this weekend/week and working on a Porsche for the first time. Thanks again!

POST 2Original post

Well done. I'm only a short few months ahead of you, and yes, if you have a toolbox and some basic skills, these are amazing cars to work on yourself. Welcome aboard Sent from my SM-G988U using Tapatalk

POST 3Original post

Congrats! I just picked up a 987 as well a couple months ago. This has been a thought in the works since they came out I finally pulled the trigger... or the other way around? Amazing car and driving experience.... after having owned other sports cars, this is the one that encapsulates all of them. [emoji3577] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

POST 4Original post

Great that you've finally pulled the trigger! I'm pretty sure that most wish that they did it sooner! any specific plans for the car?

POST 5Original post

You need to fix the elastics on your soft top. See how the edge of the top overlaps the hard metal frame behind the passenger window? It's pretty easy with a bit of sewing elastics and a stapler. There's a YT video out there of how to do it. This is very common as the stock elastics loose their stretch after a decade.

POST 6Original post

Good catch! I had to do the same on mine recently. YouTube is a 987 owners best friend. Sent from my SM-G988U using Tapatalk

POST 7Original post

congrats also. The elastics were the first thing I had to do with my 2010 BS 5 years ago. If you let them go, the fabric covering the cord embedded in top fabric frays and then it gets to be more of a problem. I went to a fabric shop and bought a strip of stronger elastic tape. Whole fix took less than an hour, and half of that was figuring it out without YouTube help. Still going strong today.

POST 8Original post

Congrats! Awesome car and endless fun.

POST 9Original post

3 years ago I purchased a 2006 boxster S with 21k . I check with this forum before I do anything on it. Saved money, time, and aggravation. Welcome.

POST 10Original post

Welcome. Just a few things, attached pdf, owners manual, CTEK MSX 5.0 w/comfort connect, FCP EURO and of course YT are your best friends! Enjoy the ride.

POST 11Original post

I made this video for new owners, might find some good info here.

POST 12Original post

There you go, I'm mambo, I mean subscriber no. 5 The more content and knowledge out there for new (and old) owners the better. Cheers, Julian

Oh, very cool, I forgot how to decode the first 2 digits of the date. Thanks!
