Plugged in the to convertible top relay and tried the dash button. IT'S ALIVE! Then promptly broke the plastic linkage that attaches the control rod to the top! Buying new heavy duty steel linkages (Uro) from Ama zon this very moment!



There is NO such thing as a cheap Boxster!


The plastic is there for a reason, and is meant to break so a binding top does not bend the control arms or damage the top motor. Use the plastic ball sockets.
