My '05 Boxster was at the dealership all day today getting the hardtop fitted. Evidently the soft top has to be semi removed to install the pins. It went in at 0700 and 12 hrs later still wasn't done.

My question is: Is there anyone else here who has had one fitted on an '05 or '06? I was told the newer body presents real problems. I asked if they were sure the top was for an '05/'06....yes, the part #'s match. It came straight from Stuttgart, so hard to question that end of it. Damn, I hope this doesn't go on & on here. I had hoped to take it off and on myself, but if they can't even do it, what am I to do????
