New Version Roof Transport System (RTS) and Boxster Hardtop.

Vehicle Type:
Boxster

Model Year:
As of 1997 (V)

Concern:

New version Root Transport System (RTS) and Boxster Hardtop.

Information:

Due to production changes the Boxster Hardtop may be found in three (3) versions. They are as follows:

- Hardtop with backing plates (X2) and painted plastic trim (X2).

- Hardtop with only painted plastic trim (X2).

- Hardtop without backing plates or plastic trim (newest version).

Because of these changes the RTS and one of the RTS mounting procedures has been changed.

Work Procedure:

When mounting the RTS to a Boxster, the assembly procedure in the Boxster Technical Manual Group 6, 5/97 - 6692 step "Vehicles with Hardtop" should be deleted. The mounting procedure for Boxsters with Hardtop or Cabriolet is now the same procedure.

Roof Transport Systems produced from January 1998 do not contain the hardware (adapters and countersunk screws) to allow for RTS mounting directly to the Hardtop, therefore, mounting is attached to the B-pillar area as shown in Boxster Technical Information, Boxster Technical Manual Group 6, 5/97 - 6692, figure 5.

Please inform your customer of these changes when necessary.
