GTA:

Although a female metric torx socket is ideal for removing the four bolts that hold down the seat rails, in a pinch you can use a 1/4" drive 10mm socket.

Definitely heed the earlier advice regarding accidentally setting off the airbag light. If you do set it off, you can only turn it off with a PIWIS, PST2, or Durametric.

BTW, all fasteners on a Porsche are metric and you will find that some tools that you will buy will only come out of your toolbox for the Porsche.

If you are going to be working on your Boxster, definitely also invest in a Bentley manual. It's invaluable and reasonably priced.

Regards, Maurice.
