I just bought a 2004 Boxster S special edition with 35K miles back in October, and only got a little driving in before putting it away for the winter. It was owned by an older gentleman in LA since 2006, and while he got the oil changed regularly, there are lots of other maintenance items to catch up on (transmission fluid, new IMS/RMS/clutch, clean and waterproof top, new shocks, new rotors/pads/fluid). Additionally, I don't think he ever moved the seats in the years he owned it, so trying to slide them forward and back is pretty tough.

It seems like taking the seats out is pretty straightforward, but if anyone has hints, I am all ears. Any recommendations on what lubricant to use? Any other maintenance items to consider?
