This was a very fast test fit before dark and as my pizza arrived and was getting cold.

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

I have the opportunity to get a smoking price on a Boxster indoor car cover for 981 for my 987 Cayman S . The only thing I think might not work is the side mirror positioning because the cars are pretty similar other than that. Any thoughts? Looking at part number 981 -044-000-00 for the cover.

POST 2Original post

I think the fit will be off, mainly due to the side mirror pouches being in a different position. I know a friend of mine with a 981 could not fit a 987 cover on his Boxster .

POST 3Original post

I believe the 981 is bigger so it might work but not be a tight fit.

POST 4Original post

Well we're going to see what happens... I bought it. Hoping to test it out in the next few days as the car is already in storage. I decided to take a leap on it based on a couple of things in this comparison... the Boxster defintely has more volume in the rear of the car and the side mirrors look to be pretty close to the same spot (not where they mount but overall) and the mirrors appear to be larger on the Boxster . Porsche Cayman 2009-2012 vs. Porsche Boxster 2012-2016 Porsche Cayman Coupé 2009-2012 vs. Porsche Boxster Roadster 2012-2016. Compare car dimensions (length, width and height) vs. street perspective. www.carsized.com As Ernest said, might not be a super tight fit, but close enough for me. I will update for the sake of the forum once I've tested it out...

POST 5Original post

You can always fold your mirrors before you cover it.

POST 6Original post

Hey, an indoor cover is just to keep the dust off, right. As long as it fits over the 987, it works. But so would a bed sheet (high thread count to avoid scratches).

POST 7Original post

I agree. Unfortunately my bed isn't 14 feet long - I'm only 5'8". 😜 I tease! The price of this 981 cover was competitive with a nice bed sheet.

POST 8Original post

The verdict is in. It fits pretty well with a bit of a dumpy butt due to the 981 having a larger back end. This was a very fast test fit before dark and as my pizza arrived and was getting cold.

POST 9Original post

Here's a pic of my '19 718 Cayman with the cover from my old '014 GT3 . A bit excess material over the back end that fills up if I have the wing extended. Slows you how much both the 718 and 911s have grown in in 20 yrs. - the 718 is now the size of a 996 while the 911 is the size of a whale - ;>)
