Top in service position, engine out, need to close top.

[Silber]

Hi all,

I am in the process of removing the engine from my Boxster. Once it’s out I’ll need to push the car outside to free up some floor space for working on other projects and the engine work.

Problem is, top is in service position. Since I have the engine unhooked from the DME etc. I’m a little leery of hooking the battery back up to close the top.

Is it safe to hook the battery up in this state? Assuming it is not, how much of a pain is it to unhook the top from the power mechanism and then hook it back up later when everything is in service position? Or is there some trick to hooking it all back up?

Regards,

Silber
