1. It adjusts the seat height. Pull up and push the seat down (needs lots of leverage). If you just pull it up then the seat will come all the way up
2. Manual spoiler switch. Click it up once and watch your spoiler raise while parked. You have to hold it down for 7-10 seconds to put it all the way down.
3. Owners manual generally goes there. I use the compartment for the garage openers and air fresheners.

with the switch you can manually move the spoiler up or down, or leave it down and it will come on automatically based on speed, this is standard.
the seat leverage, you kinda have to play with it, like pull it and lift yourself up a little off the seat, and it will raise up, it does it on an angle kinda thing.

are you trying to do this while standing up outside of the car? or while you are sitting in the car?
you need to be sitting in the car. use your weight to push the seat down. if you are still having problems (aka you weigh under 120lbs) then pull the seat forward, and use teh steering wheel to help you force the seat down. FYI... it goes down in an arcing motion towards the rear of the car. if you still can't find someone over 200lbs to help you out. : )
i myself have no problem getting the seat down. : (

The thing on the side of the seat looks like it would be a cap for cars that didn't come with a fully automatic seat option. I have a switch there, but that looks like it could simply be a cover for the hole.
I knew someone who thought that the manual holder under the dash was for CDs. I removed mine off for more leg room. A manual in it's leather cover doesn't fit in it anyway.

Pull up on the lever and then push back on the seat. Put your left foot on the ergonomic rest, stick your hips down into the back of the seat, and puuush. It kinda moves at an arc. You might get results if you adjust the seat forward before you lower it.

Randall...wow a real picture of a real umbrella in that space. it looks like the tag is still on it. Who would have thought. I thought you were guessing when you said umbrella but there it is. I'll keep my chopsticks in my umbrella holder and I will keep my 1/2 cd's in the space behind the head of the seat.
lapis, your door opener. good idea. I took out my owners manual and keep my garage door opener in the owners manual holder under the dash. Just happens to wedge right in there. Even stays for the DE days at the track. That is such a lame place for a book.

Oh, to be green in a Boxster, those were the days when finding switches fascinated me too. Wait 'til sinner opens the engine cover and finds the MAF, O2 sensors, filter, AOS, and throttle body. Sinner, great to see you so enthusiast about learning about your boxster, enjoy it!

It's in the manual where you can get them for $35.00.
j/k....
I got a full set with the leather binder used from a forum member here about a month ago for $50.00 (thanks superglide!). I have seen them on eBay also (but not as inexpensive.)
