Extended Storage of Soft Top in Open Position

Vehicle Type:
Boxster

Model Year:
As of 1997 (V)

Concern:

Formation of a crease in the flexible rear window after extended periods of time with an open soft top, for instance with the hardtop or Speedster cover installed.

Information:

When opening the soft top, the flexible rear window must roll uniformly along its entire width. This will ensure that the top folds without developing creases. If necessary, open the top halfway and smooth the roll by hand.

Caution:
The ignition switch must be turned OFF before the rear window is smoothed by hand. The soft top rocker switch must not be operated when working on the soft top. There is danger of injury from the soft top or the soft top storage cover mechanism.

It is recommended that sales and parts personnel inform their customers of the above procedure. It is also recommended that service personnel inform the customer of the procedure after installing a hard top or Speedster cover.

Warranty Note:
Failure to follow these procedures and creasing of the flexible rear window due to prolonged storage are not a warranty matter.
