Your Boxster may already have them, so it would be wise to check before you buy a set. They are available from the dealer, eBay UK, and possibly any dismantlers in your area. While it is possible to transport the hardtop on your Box without them, I wouldn't recommend it. Why risk breaking the front latch? You may consider buying a latch cover also:



Installing the spinlocks can be quite stressful, because if you slip up, you could lose the shoulder bolts in the chassis. A detailed installation description can be found here:

Good luck with your purchase!

Just sayin'..............
