2012 Boxster S- Access to Front Engine Cover

[stephen wilson]

IIRC you have to pull up the top carpet to access the clips for the front access panel.

Thanks Steve but

1. Where do I hang that strap that is supposed to hold back the top (do I need a skyhook or something?) and

2. The upper carpet cover comes off in one piece by releasing all four anchors???..or does the top forward section come off alone by releasing only two??

Thanks

You may be able to just release the front two carpet clips, and lift it enough to get to the other fasteners, I haven't tried that. I'm a bit rusty, I only see my engine once a year during the oil change!
