Read evidence and context

Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

Discussions that report identifying a cause: 1

0 original-poster resolution reports. Counts can overlap; they are not unique people or a success rate.

0 discussions have direct query context; 0 report a fix in that context. Other evidence may inherit the discussion’s subject.

Reported cause
It was the first thing I did when I had it in the driveway (before running it through the test loop - about 14 miles of varying roads on the east side of KC).

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

Does someone want to tell me how we are suppose to close the hatch when it is open in its fullest position? I am only 5'9', so it does not appear as though I am going to be able to reach it. Perhaps this picture exaggerates the height of the open hatch. If not, I will either have to walk around to the side of the car or need a long pole with a hook.

/fckeditor/editor/images/smiley/MWPX/teeth_smile.gif/fckeditor/editor/images/smiley/MWPX/teeth_smile.gif/fckeditor/editor/images/smiley/MWPX/teeth_smile.gif Interesting observation. I can imagine some of us falling into the trunk trying to close it.

POST 3Original post

Careful now..........You probably just gave the Porsche guys an idea for a new option to add.........'Hatch Pull Strap in Interior Color'for $500.

POST 4Original post

Or you could buy one from the Cayman Club! Something like this? /fckeditor/editor/images/smiley/MWPX/teeth_smile.gif

POST 5Original post

i'm not 100% sure about this, but i think the hatch has 2 open positions.

POST 6Original post

Could the widest opening by for access to the engine? JHellow

POST 7Original post

Engine access from the 'top' is highly unlikely, need to remove from bottom as per Boxsters. Also, where is that 'flexible thingie'? schao

POST 8Original post

My wife's Lexus RX330 SUV comes with a power rear hatch. Had this been an option it would have added both a practical and a 'cool' element to the Cayman S. Of course Porsche would have charged dearly for this. Also, I'm sure that adding a motor to the hardtop would be impractical, given the cockpit size.

POST 9Original post

I'm not supposed to show anybody this. ; -)

POST 10Original post

Which Cayman is that from? Just goes to show if I go with a clear engine cover I'll have to dress the engine up somehow, looks pretty bland.

POST 11Original post

An older Boxster - in the owner's manual (IIRC) you can get the steps - involves putting the top up partially, and a couple of other finagles (Ctrl-Alt-Dlt or something like that ; -) - there is an exterior cover, and then an interior cover.

POST 12Original post

Ugh I should have known by the 3rd brake light in the picture and the intake configuration, next time I'll pay more attention.

POST 13Original post

It was the first thing I did when I had it in the driveway (before running it through the test loop - about 14 miles of varying roads on the east side of KC). I wonder how many owners of Boxsters have cracked these panels open? Edited by - atr_hugo on 10/15/2005 3:36:03 PM
