Swapped in a new top and managed to lose tack of one of the push arms once and poked a whole in the foam liner.
Anybody know what the part numbers are or what it's actually called ?

I may have an extra one on the shelf, let me know which side if you want me to check.
New ones are probably pretty inexpensive. Here's the part number and name:

Thank you.
And well both really.
Passenger side was already compromised by previous owner.
So of course I had to molest the drivers side

Both mine need replacing as well. I have them temporarily patched.
If I remember correctly, they’re about 260 bucks per side from Porsche

PaulE - that looks like so much fun! It's been awhile since I've been on the track. I'm looking to get back soon.
Tonight I'm having kind of a downer of an evening - lots on my mind - your picture transformed my mood immediately - it gave me a good feeling and put a smile on my face - thanks!

Finally got the P0141 code. Cleared and came back a week later. I had anticipated this
happening since I have 115 k on the car. I was going to preemptively replace the entire
SAI system so In May I placed my order to Pelican and was going to install but with
temps at 100 deg i put it off. The Check engine light came and let me know it was time.
The cause of the failure was the vacuum canister had a small crack on the bottom.
Picture of the parts replaced.

I used sandpaper on mine for the first time 
Ultimately I think I'll need the hood and the trunk deck sprayed. But I'm going slow and seeing what I can do.

This weekend we went for a drive with the local PCA club. Good time and wife enjoyed it so we'll do more. Nice people, even though we clearly had the least expensive car lol!

Pulled the cover off the '04 Special Edition today and drove it to work. Realized that I really need to make time to just go for a long drive to nowhere.

Nice looking Special sir!
I drove mine around all day yesterday with the top down. Not too often I can do that in November around these parts. About 13C out, sunny.
Felt good.

Over the last couple of days I swapped my 18 inch wheels and track tires for my 17 inch wheels and tires, pulled out my racing seats and harnesses and installed my standard seats, and replaced my headlight switch. Next week my radio should be repaired by Becker and hopefully that's it for repairs for a while!

As usual, looked at lots of way overpriced Boxsters posted for sale online on various sites.
I can't get over the 'new math'.
1. I bought a 2000 Box S in August 2008 for $15K. The included sticker showed the MSRP of $57K so I bought it for basically 30% of MSRP. Fast forward to today. A base 2013 Boxsters are $43-$50K. I looked at one in particular that was is a low mileage car available for $49.9K. Best I can tell, the car, as optioned would have had an MSPR of ~$66K. a similar 30% valuation would put this car at ~$22K. Instead, asking price is over double. Crazy times!

The whole free market system is a little whack right now and there will always be those that have more means or less intelligence to overpay and skew things in the short term. However, I still remain a firm believer in the free market system and it's ability to eventually right itself. Patience will reap rewards in the end.
