Full Version: Loose Latch for Securing Top
You're currently viewing a stripped down version of our content. View the full version with proper formatting.
I've owned my Boxster for almost one year and it's great to find an awesome forum to support my new addiction. About 2 months ago the center bracket on top of the windshield which engages the Rag Top latch (to hold it secure) broke loose. It was hanging by the wires and upon further inspection I notice the 2 mounting bolts fell out due to broken nuts in the c-channel that's part of the window frame. Since I'm a rookie and I couldn't find a thread on it - is this normal (1999 with 70,000 miles) and if so, how can I cut out/replace the old broken nuts and install new ones so I can latch down my top when needed.



Thanks in advance for your help,

Randy- this is the 968 Porsche Model. Not the 986 Porsche Model! Good luck, try petesboxsterboard. Bob Blackwell.
