No ideas without knowing WHERE the leaks are... two ideas come immediately to mind tho. The foam seals and/or the double sided tape at each front corner.

warranty direct didn't work for me

Update: Finally got the key to re-insert. Repeated attempts only made ignition switch get "softer" and more "spongy." Top remained partially open. So, I (thought) I was committed to repairing the...

NickCats: Because I was in a learning curve (Boxster is a new animal to me) it took longer than a Porsche tech of course... but even so, I did it over about 3 days and probably 18 hours total. I...
