Andrew, it is surprising that you are having the same problem as I did last week when I tried to gain access to my engine cover. I couldn't get access either (2007 w/glass window). The glass window wouldn't clear the hoops. Also, I couldn't disconnect the cable that hooks into the speaker unit so that I could remove the speaker unit to clear the access to the engine cover. My attempt to change the air filter was a total failure.
I unhooked the top skirt in the back and pulled off the cable on each side, but then couldn't roll the top up high enough to have the glass clear the hoops. My mechanical abilities are about average, but I should be able to do something as simple as getting access to the engine. Wayne (at Pelican) '101 Projects for the Boxster' made this process look so simple in his book, but..................I couldn't do it. Well, back to the dealership with my $100 bill. I think, next time, I am going to buy a car with an engine I can see.
