First porsche
 

Hi....just got my first Porsche....1999 Boxster with 52,000 miles...looking for guidance/background on IMS bearing failures...understand that about 5 percent of Boxsters experience this....what are the real facts.

Welcome. Please share a pic of your car. As for the IMSB, your car has a dual row bearing; the failure rate for that bearing is less than 1%. As you can imagine, there are numerous threads on this topic, and the customary advice in such cases is that you ought to perform a search (as opposed to asking a very broad question).

Thanks for the reply....I will expand my research

Hi and welcome from Fort Worth TX!

What does Desnorkled mean?

How do you get the stickers off the visors?

Thanks

Removing Instrument Panel Lenses
 

Is there a proper method to remove instrument panel lenses for cleaning?

I bet you could find that with Google.

my web site has a tutorial for swapping out the cluster gauge faces and it'll get you to the area where you want to clean. How to Swap your gauge faces

Rear Spoiler
 

Is there anyway to test the rear spoiler?

Never mind on the spoiler question.....found in owners manual

I see your questions were answered. Desnorkleing is a zero cost method of adding more growl to the engine (at about 4K RPM). Like anything, opinions differ. I haven't had any problems and really enjoy the sound.

There are a couple of methods to get the stickers off the visors. I already had a product called uni-solve (in small squares like alchohol pads). It's strong stuff so be careful not to make a mess. The visors can be removed from the car to make it easier. Clean the visors well after de-stickering and enjoy the results.
