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.

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

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Does anyone have some good links to door panel removal? Tools needed? I seem to remember that there was one at one time but did a search and could not find it. Thanks.

POST 2Original post

I saved part of a post recently, but I regret that I didn't identify the author: I pulled the door panel as per http://www.ecoutez.net/boxster/door-panel-removal/ (thank you!) and http://forums.rennlist.com/rennforum...d.php?t=392254 (thanks!) and removed the insulating sheet. Took about an hour going slowly and carefully. Good luck!

POST 3Original post

Looks like a PITA from that Boxster thread (disconnecting the battery and all). I've seen threads on this forum that make it look like removing a few screws and you're done. Do a search for one of those!

Andy K, I remember seeing the thread that suggested disconnecting the battery so that the airbag could not possibly deploy. Thought that was a great suggestion as the air bag deploying would be the mother of all surprises. Heart attack, Head injury, Wet pants, etc lol Andy T
