Check the drain holes, notorious for blocking on boxster. Two in front, two behind the hood

Great video. I’ll be taking my Boxster S for it’s first MOT for me in a month.

Good Luck mate hopefully it flys through

Did you fix the elastics on your convertible top? In one picture it looks like the bead was outside of the plastic trim. That will definitely cause water to get into the convertible top area. Clean out those drain holes and your problem should go away. While you’re at it, check under the floor mats and under the seat where there is no carpet to see if you have any moisture on the floor pan. If you do get to that immediately as there are electronics bolted to the floor.

Always bought N rated tyres but yes it is related to the Porsche warranty. Do have an extended warranty on mine.

Interesting is it easy to get a warantee? what kind of costs are involved?

[@AndrewwMK]

Check under the passenger seat. You can pull up the carpet when the seat is all the way forward - bet it will be soaked.

Honestly you can do this repair on your old boxster with a pair of old boxer briefs

[@willbehindthecamera]

😂 that could be a nice cheap fix. Did it with some elastic from hobbycraft but if I they fail again its nice to know ill have the right equiptment on me

[@chrispig7748]

If the tyres are speed rated to the car they are fine. The n rated thing is what Porsche factory fit and it means Nurburgring. It’s silly

[@willbehindthecamera]

Thanks for watching Chris. Yeah the tyre shop were convinced it effected my insurance. Not sure why he thought this, maybe tring to upsell me.

All four seasons in that video ! Congrats on getting another year MOT. Re the N rated, its driver choice on cars of this age. I use Eagle F1 and they are excellent all round winter/summer comfort/grippy tyres choices, but not N rated I believe (06 Boxster)

[@willbehindthecamera]

Thanks for watching. Classic british weather at the moment. Had a further look into the N rated tyres and it is a criteria you need for a porsche warrantee fron the dealers, along with alot of other factors needed to get the warantee.
