Since Robo-Top stopped producing one touch roof operation modules for the 996 cabrio and 986 Boxster the only other options available to us open top Porsche enthusiasts are such as the SmartTop costing over £250. As an Electronic engineering student I decided to take it upon myself to find a solution to this and I present "Boxstertop" available here:
Porsche boxster carrera cabriolet 996 986 one touch roof module (Boxstertop) | eBay
I've only produced 7 of these modules at present one of which I use myself. I intent on producing more if there's an interest.
Boxstertop is a Convertible Top Module That Allows One-Touch Operation for 986 Boxsters and 996 Cabriolets.
Details:
- One-Touch Convertible Operation for 986 Boxsters and 996 Cabriolets (now you only need to make a quick press of the switch to drop the roof of your convertible so your not stuck holding the button)
- Do it Yourself 5 Minute Installation (Reversible and Very Easy see instructional video below)
- Ability to Stop Movement Mid Operation (simply press the switch again in either direction and the roof will stop where ever it is until a direction is once again pressed)
- OEM Settings Included (Holding Button Down for more than one second will result in top being lowered until released like normal while a quick single touch will lower it all the way)
- works on:
996 911 Cabriolets (1997-2004)
986 Boxsters (1996-2004).
- It is also Possible to Use While Moving with some simple modification, Visit this Link to See How
