Looking good ?

Glad you finally got it sorted and future proofed ?

Unlucky! Back to finding the emergency release cable. 

The guy in the link below describes how he was able to remove the wheel lining with the wheel still on and the car on the ground -

Good luck! 

You can see where the holes are in the product photos on this eBay listing -

I had the exact same problem a few months ago.

I got round it by removing the plastic panel that surrounds the frunk/boot release. It’s held on by three small hex bolts that point towards the seat. There’s not much room, but with an allan key and a bit of patience, you can get it off quite easily. Once the latches are exposed, just use a tiny screwdriver to flick the locking mechanism down between the two latches, and they will be working again.

Thanks @Boxstachimp Are we doing a Calendar?

I don't think so, but I see some real good shots from people on here, and yours would be perfect for December. 

Maybe start a thread in the new year asking for monthly photo submissions, and get people to vote for a favourite each month. Those twelve shots make the BoXa.net 2018 calendar, maybe any profit could go to charity?

Winter Sunday morning drive. Found a hay bale tyre hatted snow man 

Beautiful shot of a fantastic 986 basking, sans roof (good man), in the late winter sun! A contender for the December 2017 BoXa.net calendar methinks?
