2003 boxster side engine access panel screws
 
I found a lot of info here to do my diy projects. I changed serpentine belts on my 2003 boxster but one of the cap screws holding side engine access panel is missing.

what would be the screw specs? Where can i buy them?

Thanks.

I am sure Woody has a box of them. He is itsnotanova on this forum.

Anker is correct, but I think Woody has a minimum shipping order of $25. Consider making a list of all the items you might need and make one substantial order. If you don't need anything else, it may be better to just stop by the dealer.

I dropped one of my fasteners on the floor of the car and it mysteriously disappeared and I plan to pick one up the next time I need to access the engine compartment.

M6 self tapping bolt iirc. You can just use a regular m6 by 10mm bolt i think

Where is this side engine access panel? I'm aware only of the top or the front. Thank you.

There isn't one. Top and front, that's it!

Well guarded secret! The side access panels are there to make the cam-covers readily available to easily swap out your chain guides etc. Don't tell anybody that I told you! Don`t listen to Anker, he hasn't found them yet! :p

I know, LOL. I didn't want to be to much of a smartass.
