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.

Theoretical now, but I have been wondering how to get into the rear trunk of a Boxster 987.2 if the latch mechanism fails, or switch at driver's seat? Any hidden releae like front? Not from a dead battery issue, just mechanical failure. Thanks
There's a cable release, and it can be gotten to, but it's a pain in the ***, and it's designed to be so people can't steal your stuff Your owners manual will describe the location and process

Thanks viideo seems easy enough if you really need it. I was a bit surprised at wheel bolt torque he uses in video, 118 pounds? From memory, it is more like 96, but my manual is in car under its winter cover right now.
Didn't notice the 118lb..he may have misspoke perhaps, as I know 991 s torque spec is 118...
happened to me before - a failure of the rear boot mechanism while on a roadtrip. Luckily I was able to crawl thru and get my passport out! (edit: mine is a Cayman though) luckily my Indy was able to get it open - combination of the cable and sending someone petite into the rear trunk - it was a pain. I dont have all the details (i had to get back to work) but hopefully it's a rare occurrence on this model.
Remove the left rear wheel, remove enough of the fender liner screws to get your arm in there behind the bumper up towards the taillight and feel around for the pull cable
