It's impossible to access the engine from above with the Zeintop on, unless you have previously removed the soft top (which I have done, and intend to do every winter), in which case the engine access is only a bit more difficult. Otherwise, the Zeintop must be completely removed for engine access, a 10-minute, 3-person job for removal and then again for re-installation.

That is kind of a bummer, I was hoping it would be easier with the zeintop. I am planning on taking my soft top out completely and keeping it as a coupe.

With the soft top removed, access on a Zeintopped car is identical to the Cayman, so it's fine; just not quite as easy as the Boxster.
