A few yrs ago I bought an 09 Wheeler Dealer Boxster S that had a broken cap and bent rod on the passenger side. I replaced it but the clamshell didn't want to close properly. I compared the driver side to the new passenger rod and the driver's side was bent.





Replaced the driver's side and the clamshell fit perfect. So you might want to check the other rod to see if it's bent or not.
The other side looks good and the top does go up and down with just one side attached. The problem is the one I am replacing keeps popping off. I also noticed both pushrods are getting scraped up just past the plastic ball socket where the pushrod is hitting another part of the frame. That doesn't seem tight.
