You're a star !! Mine came with that ugly 1/4" gap between the side indicator and wheel arch. The lazy guy who fitted the bumper last time clearly missed that little tab inside. Now I know how to fix this 👍👍👍

[@HelpMeDIY]

+TheFreedomGuy haha yeah, it’s not totally obvious when reassembling. In fact I had it half screwed back together before I noticed it and I was like hmm… something doesn’t look right. That’s why I do all the work myself because the difference was I went back, figured it out and corrected it. Your guy either didn’t know your car well enough to notice, or more likely noticed when I did and was too lazy to fix it or just didn’t care. 🍻

[@thefreedomguyuk]

@@HelpMeDIY Exactly. The funny coincidence is that I literally took the bumper off last week, to try and adjust whatever was wrong. I haven't yet gotten around to look at what was causing the problem, but as I saw your video, I went "BINGO!!". I think the previous guy didn't care. He had used drywall screws to fit the bumper with 😱🤣

[@HelpMeDIY]

@@thefreedomguyuk awesome

[@danielkarner1410]

Great video! I have a 2009 Cayman S (987.2) so we'll see if there's anything different!

[@HelpMeDIY]

+@danielkarner1410 thanks! Report back and let us know

[@michaeledwardlenzi]

This is one of the things I am tackling this winter. Great timing. Thanks for posting this.

[@HelpMeDIY]

+Michael Lenzi awesome! Radiator cleaning video coming soon… 😁

[@popeye9048]

Great, well explained video! Had my bumper off today to fit new condensers. Every screw on mine was a T25, so no need for changing bits 😊

[@HelpMeDIY]

+Popeye thanks! 🍻

[@movingpicturesbruce]

Among the best DYI videos on KZbin. Great explanations and your video was was spot on. Thanks!

[@stevestarnes9198]

Great video.

[@HelpMeDIY]

+Steve Starnes thanks! 🍻

[@fjfurfaro]

Very informative great video Aaron

[@HelpMeDIY]

+Francis Furfaro thank you sir! 🍻

[@mattandallthings]

Was considering doing this to install some mesh radiator protection, but I'd probably break something so ended up installing without bumper removal. Informative non the less.

[@HelpMeDIY]

+Matt and all things 987. Thanks 🙏

[@spyrosspyrou9432]

Good job, helps us from breaking little things when you don't know what is holding pieces together. Now to the garage to pull the bumper off and paint it. Thank you.

[@HelpMeDIY]

+Spyros Spyrou good luck 👍

[@hansjansen5224]

The slide in clips was my stumbling block. Glad I watched you do the removal.

[@HelpMeDIY]

+Hans Jansen they are tricky!

[@WernerRo]

Wrong sequence.... do the clips under the bonnet first.

[@HelpMeDIY]

+@WernerRo what’s the advantage?

[@DasCayman]

So helpful. Thank you!

[@HelpMeDIY]

[@UWMitch]

Super helpful! Thanks so much for all these videos!!!

[@HelpMeDIY]

+@UWMitch you’re welcome! Have you considered donating or becoming a member? 😉🍻

[@N911GT2]

On a 997 you don't need to take out the inner fenders, and frankly I don't see a reason to do it here either.

[@HelpMeDIY]

+N911GT2 to get to the T-25’s at 7:30 in the video

[@josequintero201]

Can you tell me or show me where is the relay to the fuel pump on a 987 ?

[@HelpMeDIY]

+jose quintero haven’t had to do anything with that yet so I’m not sure, sorry

[@Aeneas137]

thank you, very helpful video.

[@HelpMeDIY]

+Aeneas137 you’re welcome 🍻

[@sergegodbout1874]

I did not see you unplugging the fog light?

[@mattpeters5076]

What’s the electric tool you’re using?

[@HelpMeDIY]

That’s the Milwaukee electric ratchet. I’ll put a link to it in the video description

[@mattpeters5076]

Thank you I will have a search for this tool. I am based in the UK and will tackle removing my bumper on a 987.1 boxster to replace air conditioner condensers. I think I know where the desiccator is located. Do you have a video for this? To be honest I don’t I think I would be tackling this job if I hadn’t seen this great video 👍

[@HelpMeDIY]

@@mattpeters5076 I don’t, sorry!

[@jacquesxavier1354]

Super exemple et tuto merci 👍

+jacques xavier you’re welcome!
