PCCM in sunlight?

I'm interested in getting more information on PCCM for Boxster. Specifically, is the screen readable with the top down, and sun behind you?

Inside Door Release is Loose

I noticed tonight that the driver's side inside door opener is loose. It still works, but it hangs out a good half inch or so (I haven't measured it.). I'm not sure what else to say about it, but if...

Fixing Bent Top (trapped cat followup)

I was hunting a lost cat, and ended up partly dismantling my 2006 Boxster S to be positive she wasn't inside. I found some YouTube videos about doing that, and they were pretty good, but none...

I got the top up, and both the top and front covers off. No cat. Crawled under the car far enough to be certain she is not on top of the transmission. She's not in the car.

The 987.1 still has the IMS bearing, and, although much rarer, IMS issues are not unknown. Replacing an IMS bearing requires cracking the engine open, so it's REALLY expensive. Aside from that,...

The same thing happened to mine. I've had three different people work on it, and the left side is still not flush. The right side is fine. For now, I am living with it.
