Removing top and frame

[DaveRad]

Hello everyone, I’ve been trying to remove the top and frame off of my boxster, like seen in this tutorial

But after removing the 3 13mm bolts on each side, removing the sensor, and the 2 Philips screws next to the 13mm bolts, the roof still won’t budge. I’ve looked all over the forums, and none of the solutions work. Any idea if there’s maybe a bolt or torx screw or something that I missed? I cant submit photos because I’m on mobile, but I’ll try to submit soon. Thank you

I did this 4 times last year... as I remember it the instructions you refer to should be OK. Possibly the bracket is stuck in place by oxidation and needs some penetrating oil and/or gentle encouragement with a rubber mallet or pry bar. Just be very careful to not damage the foam liner.

You said Phillips screws removed. Confirm these:

Hi friend
Thanks for the explanation with the pictures, my brother was trying to do it for a long time.
