The mechanisms had been removed from my '98 Boxster when I bought it. It was quite easy to put the top up and down.

To put the top up, lean over and pull the clamshell up and back, then pull the top up (it's very lightweight), then drop the clamshell back into position, get in the car and clamp down the front. It takes about 15 seconds. Just do the reverse to put the top down.

That said, it costs you in resale value not to have the mechanism working, and you lose the experience of watching it, which is cool.
