Plastic thing wedged between roof and trunk
So I was out shining up the baby this weekend and I noticed that I have this piece of plastic that is wedged between the roof and back where the roof goes into to when you put it down. Kind of afraid to put it down right now because I don't want it stuck in the down position and my other two cars are being worked on right now so the boxster is my DD at the moment. Don't have access to camera right now but the platic thing is about 6-8 inches long and has a clip on the inside of it. any idea of what and how to fix this? thanks

I don't understand. Is this something that's supposed to be on the car, but is in the wrong place or somehow misaligned? Or is this a "foreign body", some piece of plastic you picked up inadvertently along the road?

No it definetly is supposed to be on there. Its oblong about 6-8 inches with a metal clip on the inside. Looks like it goes somewhere underneath or beside when the top goes down inside the car. I'm afraid to mess with it right now incase the top won't go back up and my other two cars being undriveable currently. Half of it sticks up out of the back and half is beneath the service area. Looks like something might have come loose last time I put the top down and back up. thanks !

just went out and checked mine - there's nothing like what you describe in my clamshell area.

A pic would definitely help. |

Sort of rounded, there's one on each side, just below the clamshell ? I think they prevent the fabric from the top getting 'pinched' in the clamshell arm as it closes? If that's it, there one end goes over where the clamshell is attached to the sliding rail, the metal clip secures it to the clamshell "arm" -- just takes a little fidgeting to get it into place -- but line up the end that covers the bolt attached to the sliding rail first, then the other end pops in. |
I've circled where the part I described should attach in Wayne's picture below:

On my '06 I had the weatherstripping that clips to the underside of the clam-shell partially come off and get pinched between it and the body.
