So I just got a 98 Boxster and had it in the garage getting it all cleaned up. I raised the top about half way so I could get into all those nooks and crevices in order to clean. Had it up for about 10 minutes and now it will not open or close at all. No movement at all. It is as if there is no power to it. I checked the fuses, the pressure switches in the rear and where the handle is but no luck. I've tried it with the car on and with the key in the run position. The emergency brake is set as well. What could I have possibly done!??? If anyone out there has experienced this or knows of something I should be trying I would sure appreciate the feedback. Thanks!

 

Hi. I have no experience of the Boxster hood, but I would have thought that there must be a way of manually raising/lowering the roof. Check in your user manual to find out how to manually raise/lower the roof.

Good luck!
