ICrashedMy986SadFace Posted November 12, 2020 Report Share Posted November 12, 2020 So this happened about 3 years ago. I'm ashamed to say that I wrote my old boxster off whilst driving to the car wash before the buyer was due to come the next day. I felt like a proper berk for months. Anyway, while I was waiting for the tow truck to drag it off the road I had the presence of mind to rip out the smart top relay. Now its just sitting here, looking at me, judging me... Anyway, its yours if you want it, all I ask is that you cover postage. I'm based in Switzerland so it will be around GBP 10 - 20 at a guess. Stay safe out there!

edc Posted November 12, 2020 Report Share Posted November 12, 2020 When I crashed my first 986 I saved the Smart top too but also the front and rear clear lights, tool roll, rear shelf, wind deflectors, handbooks, double Din Pioneer radio ... 😎🤣 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Southy Posted November 12, 2020 Report Share Posted November 12, 2020 I have a modified relay which allows the roof to open close on the move, I coupled it with the robotop relay so I could one touch open the roof etc, removed the robotop in the end as you could easily hit it by mistake and it would try and open/raise the roof at any speed lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edc Posted November 12, 2020 Report Share Posted November 12, 2020 The smart top also has a safety mechanism which stops the operation it it senses an obstruction. At least twice it's saved me from ripping the roof latch out having not opened it properly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do but I understand a second press will stop the lowering of the hood so I can do a chop. Might even be able to do the chop while the hood lowers? Not an issue when raising the hood on the move and more convenient than reaching across to cabin to hold the button whilst driving. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You should find that your routine will be sit down, start car, unlatch, hit switch get up, step out, chop, get in, clip seat belt and the roof will be stowed by then Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can close the roof one touch on the move and you don't need to chop. Excellent if it gets a bit too hot, joining a motorway, shower etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John2000 Posted November 13, 2020 Report Share Posted November 13, 2020 Good point but the speed I join a motorway it would RIP the top off. I would not like pulling onto the hard shoulder to drive slow enough. Just saying that's my take on it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
