Water getting into car inevitable??

[blinkwatt]

Double check and make sure that there isn't water flooding underneath your driver side seat. Your Alarm Computer is under there and is extremely expensive to replace if it's wrecked. Check your drain location,more so the one located behind the driver and passenger seats near the engine cover.

Where in the interior is the carpet getting wet?

Oh I don't have the water problem. At least I hope I don't. I just got the car and haven't driven it in the rain or washed it yet. I was just reading the forum and realized the water problem has been mentioned more times than I like to see and I am just wondering if a "wet" Boxster is inevitable. Or are there owners out there who has had their Boxster for years and never had this problem and never paid attention to all the drain holes?

Well, I think any convertible is going to be more of an issue with regard to water intrusion than a "normal" hard top car, but I agree, the Box does seem to have more issues with this than some other rag tops. I just recently experienced some water issues, which may be related to my custom audio install.

I've never had an issue. She's as water-tight as a frog's...

Mine too, go play in rain often and never been an issue

In a further attempt to allay your fears: I've never had an issue either - despite driving 50 miles a day in pouring rain for 4 months last year!

In fact, out of all the convertibles I've had now (this is my 6th different one) this is the only car where i have never had a single leak inside - I'm impressed with the design!

I've not had a single water-related issue the entire time I've owned my boxster.... all four weeks of it .
Jokes aside, thanks for posting the query and for the responses - it helped allay some of my fears, but also made sure that I will go ahead and check the drainholes just in case

With the exception of a six year period I have owned a convertible since 1964. IN all that time I have only has one, an MGB, that leaked and that came in around the drivers door. Not a one of the others has leaked. In fact, when I read the Boxster manual I was wondering why the manual went to such great lengths to say no convertible top was leak proof. I don't know about the Boxster S but if it does leak it will be gone in short order.

Thank you for all the reponses. I hope I am one of the lucky ones who will never have water intrusion problems.

As for the posted diagrams, I cannot figure out what "A" and "B" are. Is that a depiction of an airhose and a probing device to clean the drains??

How should one clean the drains to make sure the whole route of the tubing is clean?

**edit** What is the "service position"?

thanks for tips!
