Hey Folks,

Thanks for allowing me to join this forum. I'm absolutely new to the Porsche community and I know nothing about these cars. I recently was given a 2001 Porsche Boxster which had been sitting in a friend's back yard for two years. There's quite a bit of work that needs to be done to it and the paint is definitely sun damaged which I will have repainted when everything is done.

I did have a question. The convertible motor appears to be dead and I cannot get the roof to go to service mode as I have unlocked it and upon pressing the convertible button to open, it does nothing. Can anyone be kind enough to tell me an alternative way to open the engine compartment so I can replace the motor despite the convertible top not being able to open? SMH.

Thanks in advance!!
