Alan36 Posted August 17, 2022 Report Share Posted August 17, 2022 Hi guys, Can someone post a picture of the inside of the roof please. I dont know how to post a picture of mine but I dont know if its genuine or aftermarket. Is the Boxster roof double skinned? I was attempting to tighten the passenger side to make it store back inside the frame but from inside mine looks different to the ones I have seen on youtube and I cant find the material I am supposed to attach the stretch ribbon I have.

edc Posted August 17, 2022 Report Share Posted August 17, 2022 The Facelift 986 has a roof liner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pacificjuha Posted August 17, 2022 Report Share Posted August 17, 2022 I have a 2001 and it does have the roofliner on the soft top. Facelift came a bit later - 2003? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baldrick Posted August 17, 2022 Report Share Posted August 17, 2022 Hi Alan, I have my 2001 at work with me so have just taken the attached image for you. It has the OE liner. Hope it helps... Andy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
½cwt Posted August 17, 2022 Report Share Posted August 17, 2022 The S has a roof liner from when it was introduced, 2.5 does not and for the 2.7 it came in for '01 model year, the minor facelift. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan36 Posted August 17, 2022 Author Report Share Posted August 17, 2022 (edited) Mine doesn't look like that Baldrick, thanks. I assume mines wont have the inner lining with it being a 2000 model. It wont let me upload any pictures of mine, keeps saying the file size is too big. Has anyone tightened the roof on their pre facelift to allow it to seat properly?

Alan36 Posted August 17, 2022 Author Report Share Posted August 17, 2022 Thanks Scubaregs. Is this roof the normal 2000 roof? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To confirm what @Baldrick's said, not what mine looks like. OE is a smooth material with no weave pattern. Have you got a vinyl or a glass rear window?

Alan36 Posted August 18, 2022 Author Report Share Posted August 18, 2022 It has a glass screen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

edc Posted August 18, 2022 Report Share Posted August 18, 2022 Or a facelift hood fitted to a pre facelift. You can tell by the size of the window. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

edc Posted August 18, 2022 Report Share Posted August 18, 2022 The aftermarket hoods normally don't come with a liner and reuse the liner from the OE hood. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That won't work too well if you go from a larger vinyl window Porsche hood to a smaller glass window aftermarket hood... It doesn't make the material correct for a lined hood, unless of course it is unlined. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apologies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
