The President’s ColumnNicolas Liakas

From The Editor’s DeskJohn Alfenito

August was a terrible month for me. Due to

personal health issues, which are now resolved, I missed our two breakfast meetings and a few other club related duties. September will be a much better month; it has to be.

I had a lot of time, on my back, to re!ect on many topics and issues – life in general. I con"rmed that looking back is useful, but it has its limitations. Looking at the present and preparing for the future is the better use of time and energy. It struck home when my three-year-old grandson, Ryan, saw me in bed and climbed up to place his head on my chest, and gave me a big smile. #at bit of personalized medicine remedied all my ailments, and provided a picture-window glance into the future of my family. All that truly matters is okay.

For our members, August was a great month (as is each month). Several of us traveled to Monterey for the Historics. #is annual gathering is a magnet for car lovers and collectors. Others were already making tentative plans to attend the national parade, which two years from now (June 2014) will also be in Monterey. Our region’s progressive dinner was a smash, with dozens participating in the enjoyable drives and cherishing the hospitality of the hosts. Every weekend had something scheduled, and our members took part in great numbers.

I very much look forward to rejoining our SBR friends and participating once again in all that our club has to o$er. See you soon.

Our region’s 36th annual Concours d’Elegance returns to Santa Barbara on Sunday, October 14, 2012. But, that’s not the big news. #e big news is the magni"cent new location for this signature event: Fess Parker’s Doubletree Resort right

across from the beach on East Cabrillo Boulevard.#e manicured lawns surrounding the hotel’s famous rotunda

will be full of beautiful Porsches, and all of us who partake will enjoy a sumptuous luncheon prepared by the hotel chefs. If this sounds like a perfect day with your car, you may be right.

In years past, our concours events at Santa Barbara City College and Cal State University Channel Islands were wonderful, but kind of...lonely. Sure, we were all there to support one another, but it was mostly just us. #is year, for the "rst time in many years, the public once again will be a big part of our concours. #e proximity to the beach and the many vendors along East Cabrillo Boulevard, not to mention the guests at the hotel, will insure that hundreds of admiring eyes will see our cars in all their glory.

I urge you to come to the concours this year. Bring your car and, if you don’t want to try your hand at the competition, sign up for display parking. It would be wonderful to have the largest collection of Porsches ever at this year’s new concours location.

I’m cleaning my GTS (and my camera lenses!) for this one. I hope you’ll seriously consider joining us. It’s going to be great!

Those of us who traveled from the east to the August Camarillo Breakfast had the misfortune of getting caught in a rainstorm

on our way to the airport! Rain in August? What is this? Michigan? However, once our group assembled at the Way-Point Café, all 121 of us, the sun was creeping through the high clouds, and it was a lovely morning.

Being alternate vehicle month, there were plenty of interesting “other cars” among the 70 Porsches in attendance. Notable for its vintage and its unrestored condition was John McNair’s 1959 Triumph TR-3 (photo on page 1), a crowd favorite.

Naturally, just as most of us sat down to eat, the clouds opened up, albeit brie!y, which sent the cabrilolet owners scrambling out to secure their tops. Strange August weather, indeed. Just as quickly, the sun returned.

Region Vice President Steve Kaller "lled in for President Nick Liakas leading the brief business portion of the meeting. He introduced Activities Co-Chair Doreen Pankow who welcomed several guests from the San Gabriel Region. Cathy & Kirk Gerbracht, Matt & Linda Stone, and Je# & Margaret Srinivasan, all of whom had joined us on the Memorial Day Weekend Double Discovery Drive this year, dropped in for breakfast, and we were glad to see them again. We’re hoping to see them more o$en.

Membership Chair Sue Kinsling gave us the attendance "gures for the day and introduced new member Howard Rubinstein from Westlake Village, who had just joined that morning! Sue also recognized new members Stanfell Boone and his son Spenser from %ousand Oaks, both of whom were attending their "rst breakfast with us.

Steve Kaller then presented yours truly with the trophy our region won at the 2012 Porsche Parade (see page 32) for "nishing "rst in Class IV of the National Newsletter Competition (Yay!).

Finally, to promote the upcoming Pre-Concours Detail Clinic and the Concours d’Elegance, Sue Kinsling and Janice Herndon drew winning ra&e tickets for Lavaggio Gi$ Certi"cates. %e big winners were Randy Kinsling and Becky Lundberg. =

Santa Barbara Breakfast

STORY AND PHOTOS BY JOHN ALFENITO

Beatin’ The Heat At The BeachAugust 11, 2012

With most of Southern California in the grip of a week-long heatwave, a morning at the beach was just the ticket for 44 members and guests at the August Santa

Barbara Breakfast. Alternate Vehicle month continued, and there were a few “foreigners” among the 26 Porsches on the pier.

Filling in for our recuperating President Nick Liakas, Past President Michael Brovsky welcomed everyone. Membership Chair Sue Kinsling introduced new members Paul Graziano and Jo Swanda from Santa Barbara, who just joined our region and were attending their !rst breakfast in their brand new 2013 Boxster S. "eir car drew an admiring crowd both before and a#er the meal. Also, Scott Nelson of Westlake Village was recognized. Scott’s been a member for a while, but this was his !rst S.B. Breakfast.

Activities Co-Chair Ted Lighthizer promoted the long list of upcoming events scheduled for the next quarter, including the Special Olympics Car Show in Montecito on September 16 and "e

Tire Rack Street Survival School for teens on October 20. Michael Brovsky spoke about this October’s Wine Country Harvest Festival and the need to make your reservations early as space is limited.

Finally, Ted and Concours Chair Dick Douglass reminded everyone about the upcoming Pre-Concours Detail Clinic on September 8 at Lavaggio and the Concours itself on October 14 at the Fess Parker Doubtree Resort in Santa Barbara.

Once again, each breakfast attendee received a free ra$e ticket upon arrival, and Dick Douglass drew for three lucky winners. First up was a beautiful calendar from this year’s Porsche Parade which was won by Joe Schneider of Schneider Autohaus. Two big goodie bags !lled with car care products, courtesy of our friends at TCs Garage, were won by Oscar Briones and Anne Llewellyn.

As the meeting came to a close, all were headed o% in di%erent directions, probably to locales much warmer than the very pleasant con!nes of Stearns Wharf. =

The R.U.F. Report

On July 19, 2012 ten members of the R.U.F. group (Retired and Unemployed Folks) visited the

courtroom of Judge Ellen Gay Conroy at the Juvenile Justice Center in Oxnard. We were ushered into the courtroom by Judge Conroy’s baili! and invited to sit at a large octagonal-shaped extended counsel table facing the bench. "e setup of this courtroom is unlike any seen on TV or in the movies, nor does it resemble the ones seen by prospective jury panels at the main Ventura County courthouse. We learned that this is because the courtroom is the center for all juvenile dependency cases in Ventura County, and, as such, it is closed to the public.

Juvenile dependency cases involve children who are in court through no fault of their own - they are neglected or abused children who are in need of the protection of the Court. "e large counsel table re#ects the many participants in juvenile court proceedings: the childrens’ attorney, the parents and their attorney and attorneys representing the Human Services Agency - sometimes referred to as Child Protective Services.

Judge Conroy outlined the legal procedures which are followed when it is determined that a child is in need of protection and removal from his or her parent. She indicated that, anecdotally, it appears that a substantial number of cases arise due to drug or alcohol abuse by a parent. Currently there are approximately

1100 children in the system in Ventura County.

We learned that once a child is declared a dependant, the $rst goal, a%er assuring the child’s protection, is to determine if problems within the family can be remedied and the child ultimately reuni$ed with the parent. If this is not possible, the next preferable outcome is adoption, followed by guardianship and foster care. All of our group appeared quite engrossed by the information we received and asked many thoughtful questions of Judge Conroy.

Although the caseload she manages weekly is daunting, Judge Conroy said there are heartwarming outcomes. She related the story of one young person, now an adult, who is volunteering as a Court Appointed Special Advocate (CASA) to help d e p e n d a n t children cope with the travails she had personally experienced as a child. Judge Conroy related that the CASA program, comprised of trained volunteers, is an important tool available to the Court to help provide assistance to children and information to

the Court. She invited anyone interested in the program to contact the Court for information.

Judge Conroy ends each week with the adoption calendar. She said she looks forward to the joy and excitement when families and children $ll her courtroom with balloons and toys and much happy noise. She keeps a supply of stu!ed teddy bears on hand for this occasion.

Following our courtroom visit we went as a group to B.J.’s restaurant where we enjoyed lunch on the patio and the

camaraderie of conversation with friends. Everyone said they had learned something new from our visit and were given much to re#ect upon. =

For the sixth year in a row, Jim & Terry Middlebrook o!ered up their lovely home to host one of the club’s most popular events, the annual chili cook-

o!. "is friendly culinary competition was #rst hosted by current members Bob & Jeanette Bassett at their Camarillo home from 1997 to 2006. Once again this year, everyone seemed to have a great time visiting and making new relationships, which of course is the primary purpose of the event.

72 members and ten guests attended this year’s cook-o!, and ten di!erent chili dishes were entered into the contest. "e bu!et line moved quickly thanks to the e$ciency of our chili servers, Phyllis Weaver, Luz Mosesson, Diane Griswold, Rosalee Merrick, Claudia Earl and Olga Liakas.

A%er feasting on delicious appetizers, salads, a variety of breads, and tasting all the di!erent recipes of chili, it was time for members to vote for their favorite chili. While Barry & Valerie Weinstein, judges for the event, went o! to tabulate the ballots, the rest of us enjoyed some delicious desserts, conversation and more camaraderie.

President Nicolas Liakas welcomed everyone and introduced all our guests, with Jon & Jeanine Boesen, guests of Mark & Jeanette Smith, having travelled the farthest. "e Boesens are from "e Netherlands. "e Middlebrooks had seven guests including their son Jamie and daughter Suzie. We had two father-and-daughter couples, Kent Bodin with daughter Tori and Gil Siqueido with his daughter Autumn. Michael Brovsky then presented two #ne bottles of vintage wine from his personal collection to Jim & Terry to thank them for hosting this fun event for the sixth consecutive year.

With the suspense mounting, Barry came forward to declare the three winners of the best chili. Gil Siqueido won third place,

a great ranking for his #rst-time chili submission. Ilene Freeman won second place, moving up from having placed third in the two previous years. Both won Meguiar’s car care detailing kits. Finally, this year’s Grand Prize winner for Best Chili went to Jim Middlebrook, who took back possession of the coveted Lady Scoville Perpetual Trophy until next year’s Chili Cook-O!. Jim also won #rst place in 2009.

We want to thank all our members who came early to help us get ready and all those who assisted with clean-up. Pre-event setup was done by Gary Weaver, Dave Mosseson, Je! Parker and Je!rey

Merrick. On-site parking and member assistance was handled by Don Earl, William Griswold and James Oldham. "anks again to Jim & Terry Middlebrook for making the PCA/SBR 16th Annual Chili Cook-O! one of the best ever. Ted and Doreen hope to see YOU there next year to join in the fun and good times. =

On Saturday, July 7th, 2012, Dave and I headed out at 6:30 a.m. with our packed non-Porsche, bound for this year’s Porsche Parade

in Salt Lake City, Utah. With the stunning backdrop of the Wasatch Mountains, Salt Lake City o!ers pretty much everything a major metropolitan area has, yet has the size and friendly hospitality of a small Western city. It has a fascinating history and quick access to outdoor recreation including many national parks within easy driving distance. "e city is clean and feels very safe and inviting.

"e Parade always o!ers numerous and varied activities for Porsche enthusiasts. Autocrossing, rallying, concours, tech sessions, tech quizzing and touring are among the long list of things to do. An art exhibit is o!ered as well as the ever-popular Goodie Store. "ere’s even a Parade Kids

Program with daily activities for children of every age.

A#er one overnight in Cedar City, Utah, we were up again early Sunday morning and arrived in Salt Lake City at 10:00 a.m., just in time to join many others going through the registration process and signing up for activities and banquet seating. "e place was packed. Other Santa Barbara Region attendees were also arriving, and we were happy to see all of them. Anita Banke, Carolyn Ewbank and Henry Valdez, Joe & Jane Niederst, Burt & Marge Misevic, Kent Bodin and yours truly made the trek to Utah one way or another.

A#er getting settled in our Little America hotel room, which was very pleasant and spacious, we explored the grounds and were looking forward to the Welcome Party held at the ultra-luxurious Grand America hotel directly across the street. "e Grand America was built to provide a $ve-star hotel for the 2002 Winter Olympics held in Salt Lake City. Some attendees of the Parade stayed at the Grand America where all the banquets were held, but most of the activity was at the four-star Little America.

"e outdoor, Western-themed Welcome Party was festive with excellent food and drink laid out bu!et-style. Everyone appeared to be having a good time, and we were able to seat all our region’s attendees at the same table.

Monday, July 9th, was Concours day. At every Parade, attendees are asked in advance to volunteer to work various events in di!erent capacities, and Dave signed up both of us for the Concours tasks of timer and runner, respectively. "e setting for the concours was impressive, to say the least. It took place on the grounds of the Utah State Capitol building, which sits on a gentle rise at the top of State Street, a wide north-south boulevard, and has a lovely view overlooking the city and the rugged Wasatch Mountains to the east.

Porsches of many vintages, models and colors were displayed in various areas of the spacious grounds, and judging teams performed their inspection duties on each car. Porsche Cars North America erected a large white tent surrounded by display cars and treated the attendees to complimentary Porsche calendars and a chance to win a new Boxster. I was hoping that we’d need to add on to our garage, but that turned out to be somebody else’s “problem.”

"e evening of concours day held a special treat for us. We attended the Presidents Reception, which is always held at a distinctive location. "is year, the site was one of rustic elegance, the La Caille restaurant and gardens, located at the mouth of Little Cottonwood Canyon,

2012 PORSCHE PARADE:SALT LAKE CITY STYLESTORY BY SUSAN STONE

THE CONCOURS UNFOLDS IN FRONT OF THE UTAH STATE CAPITOL BUILDING


about a half-hour ride from our hotel. !e ambience of La Caille is that of a French country estate with 20 acres of grounds that include a lake, gorgeous gardens, an enormous greenhouse room and "ocks of peacocks roaming the grounds. !e Wasatch mountains rise up commandingly just behind the area. It’s an utterly charming place and, not surprisingly, is a popular wedding venue.

O#cials of PCNA warmly greeted the guests as they arrived, and varied appetizers followed by luscious desserts with many choices of cocktails and other beverages were available throughout the evening. We visited with Burt & Marge Misevic there, both of whom are past presidents of the Santa Barbara Region, with Burt also being

an honored past national president. We also chatted with region member Randy Le#ngwell, who was a special guest of PCNA. It was an extraordinary and very enjoyable evening. !e brothers Porsche, Wolfgang and Peter, were among the VIPs and must have enjoyed the European-like venue.

While other Parade events were taking place, Tuesday was the day we set aside for a trip to Park City, a very popular ski and residential area east of Salt Lake. Kent Bodin joined us on the 30-minute scenic drive on I-80 up the mountain. Salt Lake City was the site of the 2002 Winter Olympics, and Park City was one of several event venues in and around the city. While the area has expanded enormously, the old

mining town area still exists and is a fun place to spend a day exploring art galleries, restaurants and shops of every kind.

Tuesday evening was the large concours banquet where we had a sumptuous dinner and heard from various people, including the national president of PCA, Manny Alban, who gave a warm welcome speech. Once again in attendance were three very special people: Wolfgang Porsche and his 19-year-old son, Ferdinand, and Peter Porsche. Both brothers spoke to the crowd for several minutes each. !is Parade was Peter’s 32nd time attending, and Wolfgang marked his 16th time. !ey’re both extremely appreciative of their legion of Porsche fans. Wolfgang shared some personal and emotional moments about the third brother, Ferdinand, known as “Butzi” (pronounced Bootsy) who, sadly, passed away earlier this year. Butzi was the designer of the original 911. All the family members in attendance were friendly, warm and obviously happy to be a part of the event.

A successful autocross was held over Tuesday and Wednesday, and we heard that that there was sti$ competition amongst the Porsche family. Apparently young Ferdinand Porsche was thrilled to participate and is looking forward to attending future Porsche Parades here in the USA.

Wednesday a%ernoon, a wine tasting was held in the Hospitality Room at Little America featuring several di$erent Utah-produced wines. Maybe we’re just loyal to our home state, but we found nothing that could match our own California wines.

!e autocross banquet was held that evening, and the newsletter awards were announced. We were so pleased to learn that our very own John Alfenito was awarded a well-deserved &rst place in the Division IV competition for Der Auspu$. Congratulations, John!

One of the outstanding visitor sites in Salt Lake City is known as Temple Square, the location of the Mormon temple and tabernacle. !e square >>>>

THE CONCOURS UNFOLDS IN FRONT OF THE UTAH STATE CAPITOL BUILDING


is a beautifully landscaped area, full of !owers and conducive to introspection. We intentionally timed our visit in order to experience a half-hour organ concert in the tabernacle with the premier organist at the four-level keyboard. "e acoustics in the building are without equal, and the organ concert was a special treat. "e concert is a daily event at noon, with a similar concert every day at 2:00 p.m. at the Conference Center directly across the street from Temple Square.

"ursday a#ernoon was an occasion for local breweries to put their best foot forward at a beer tasting in the Hospitality Room and was yet another opportunity to join fellow SBR members and meet new friends from other regions.

Friday brought the annual tech quiz, where many Parade attendees put their knowledge about speci$c models and Porsche history to the test. "e competition is $erce, and scores are o#en separated by mere tenths of a point. Our own Carolyn Ewbank once again made an excellent showing in the 928 category. A#er the quiz, well-attended tech sessions were held on a variety of topics, all taught by experts in their respective $elds.

"roughout the week, everyone had the opportunity to visit the Art Show, coordinated by the event chairman, Burt Misevic. A wide variety of artwork submitted for judging $lled two rooms and demonstrated how truly talented PCA members are. Many of the works were available for purchase and were quickly sold to eager customers. "anks to Burt and wife Marge for another great show.

Saturday morning, the volunteer party was held at the Hagle Zoo on the east side of Salt Lake City. "ose attendees who volunteered to help out at various events were invited to this party, which was a barbecue held at a large outdoor pavilion on the zoo grounds. Lots of ra%e prizes were distributed, including several sets of tires, electronic devices, articles of clothing and other goodies.

Saturday a#ernoon was the much-anticipated parade of Porsches up and down State Street. Numerous Salt Lake City police motorcycle o&cers were present escorting the cars and restricting side street access. It was a feast for the eyes to see the colorful line of Porsches stretching for what seemed miles. "e parade began in light rain, but a few minutes later, the rain stopped, convertible tops went down, horns were honking, and waving arms came out of the tops and windows. It was just plain fun.

On Saturday night, the Victory Banquet was held where more nice prizes were given out, including Porsche Design items, additional sets of tires and culminating with an all-expense-paid trip for two to Germany, courtesy of Porsche AG. Although none of the Santa Barbara Region attendees were winners of the major prizes, it was still great fun, and we met up with many new and old friends.

"ere were a variety of other activities taking place daily in and around the area including rallies, a golf tournament, Michelin tire testing, an ice cream social and even cooking classes.

"is was the $#h parade Dave and I have attended, and we agree that it was the best. We loved the location, the hotel, the friendly people, the many events and the feel of the whole area. We noticed a large number of younger attendees, and by a stand-up-and-be-counted exercise at one of the banquets, it seemed that many were attending their $rst parade. Next year, the Parade will be in Traverse City, Michigan. We were pleased to hear that Monterey, California, is the venue set for the 2014 Parade.

We encourage our members to attend a Parade, participate in as many events as possible, make new friends with people who have the same passion, and see what it’s all about. With Monterey so beautiful and so close, make plans to sign up. Whether you like to tour, rally, concours, autocross, shop or sightsee, there will be plenty to do. Bring the kids or the grandkids, make memories with them, and start a new generation of Porsche enthusiasts. =

Driving trials of the Porsche 918 Spyder have entered the next phase. A permanent !xture of the test program for the 918 Spyder – and in the tuning process for all Porsche vehicles – is the 12.92 mile (20.8 km) long

Nordschleife of the Nürburgring race course with its many bends and selective passages. A lap time of less than seven minutes and 22 seconds is one of the development goals of the innovative plug-in hybrid drive super sports car.

"e 918 Spyder, which is hardly an everyday vehicle, yet is well equipped for every-day tasks, combines a high-performance internal combustion engine with electric drives at the front and rear axles to achieve extraordinary driving performance and excellent e#ciency. "e system power of all three drives together is greater than 770 hp. "e car’s fuel consumption is forecast to be around three liters per 100 km (nearly 79 miles per gallon!) when tested on the New European Driving Cycle (NEDC), which is equivalent to CO2 emissions of about 70 g/km.

"e monocoque, consisting of carbon !ber reinforced polymer (CFRP), reduces the car’s weight and delivers remarkable rigidity and precision. Other highlights are the car’s variable aerodynamics; adaptive rear axle steering and “top pipes” exhaust system, which routes the pipes upwards. All of this makes the Porsche 918 Spyder a super sports car for the future, even though the styling of the prototype is reminiscent of historical models.

"e latest test vehicle is now turning laps in the legendary Martini® Racing look of many historic Porsche racecars, particularly from the 1970s. More than nearly any other racecar design, the Martini® Racing livery quickly attained cult status and is still in vogue today. Martini® was the o#cial partner of the Porsche factory team between 1973 and 1978.

Back then, the attractively designed “Martini® Porsche” racecars with their numerous victories were a topic of conversation. "ese victories included !nishing !rst overall at the Targa-Florio in 1973, winning the Sports Car World Championship in 1976 and overall victories at the 24 hours of Le Mans in 1976 and 1977. As early as 1971, a Porsche 917 !nished !rst in the legendary endurance race

in Le Mans with the support of Martini®. Whether a Porsche 908, 917, 935 or 936 or one of various 911 RS or RSR models, common to all of these race cars was the memorable Martini® Racing livery implemented in a wide variety of designs.Porsche AG and the Martini® brand, represented by Bacardi &

Company Limited of Switzerland, have signed a new partnership agreement to create a modern Martini® Racing design to be exclusively available on the innovative 918 Spyder. =

YOUR CONVERTIBLE TOPBY CHRIS ANDROPOULOS

The very !rst Porsche 356/1 of 1948 was an open-top sports car, and the Porsche name has been synonymous with roo"ess

sports cars ever since. However, it is easy to forget that there was a 20-year span of Porsche’s history from 1965-1983 in which no true convertible 911 was o#ered. Sun worshippers had to placate themselves with Porsche’s “safety convertible,” the Targa. 1983 saw the debut of the Porsche 911SC cabriolet, and a so$ top 911 has been a stalwart in Porsche’s lineup ever since. In this month’s tech article, I will discuss common issues with the various convertible top designs, along with some care and maintenance tips to keep your Porsche’s convertible top looking good and functioning properly for years to come.

%e earliest 911 cabriolets were equipped with manual convertible tops, but Porsche quickly o#ered a power top as an option, and the vast majority of cabrios bound for the US were so equipped. %e 911 used the same basic power convertible top design from 1984 all the way through 1998 for the last 993s. %is design consists of a metal-framed folding canvas top, raised and lowered on each side by planetary-geared “transmissions,” that pivot the arms of the frame. %e two transmissions are driven via cables that are spun by electric motors. Two additional electric motors automatically secure the le$ and right convertible top latches to the windshield header. Microswitches mounted on the windshield header and on the right side transmission signal the motors to stop when the top is completely open or closed.

%e most common issue with the convertible tops of the air-cooled 911s is the drive cables, which are similar to old-style speedometer cables in construction and function. %e metal cables can stretch with age and use, which usually results in the le$ and right sides of the convertible top frame becoming out of synch when raising or lowering the top. If you own an air-cooled 911 cabrio and notice the top start to twist while raising or lowering, STOP! One of the cables is likely stressed, and any further attempt to operate the top can easily cause one or more of the metal frame pieces to bend or break. Many of these convertible top frame pieces are not readily available new anymore and can be very costly to replace. %e earlier 911 tops can also have electrical issues. %e latching motors and microswitches can fail, along with the various microswitches that act as limit switches for operation of the convertible top. %e control unit for the top can also fail, the repair of which entails either r e - s o l d e r i n g connections on its internal circuit board or outright replacement.

%e two-seat, m i d - e n g i n e Boxster of 1997 heralded a new generation of open top Porsche sports cars. %e Boxster’s convertible top is in some ways

simpler in operation than that of the earlier 911s. A single manual latch secures the top to the windshield header, and the folding top is a lighter, simpler design that folds underneath a metal tonneau cover. %e 986 Boxster top is a largely reliable design, and most of the problems that can occur with it are electrical. %e plastic-bodied switch at the base of the parking brake handle can break, thus rendering the top inoperable, as the parking brake needs to be set for the top to function. %e microswitch in the windshield header can also fail. %e usual symptom of this malfunction is that the door windows will drop halfway randomly while driving over bumps. %e windows normally lower when the latch is released so they do not get caught on the top when it is lowering.

If your Boxster or 996/997 convertible top does not operate, check if the parking brake warning light in the gauge cluster is illuminated. If so, then check that the rear trunklid or engine lid is closed. To prevent damage to the movable metal tonneau covers of each type of car, the rear trunk lid in Boxsters and the rear engine lid in the 996 and 997 convertibles need to be latched for the top to be operational. A misadjusted rear latch, faulty rear latch microswitch, or malfunction in any other part of the latch warning circuit can prevent the top from functioning. If the top still does not operate a$er these basic checks, a Porsche specialist should be consulted.

%e Boxster tops can sometimes exhibit mechanical issues as well. %e plastic ends of the pushrods that operate the metal tonneau cover can break; they actually act as mechanical fuses to prevent further damage if the tonneau cover binds. If you coontinue to operate the top in this


condition, the transmissions that the rods attach to can be damaged or even torn from their mounts in the steel body of the car. Once again, do not continue to operate a convertible top that suddenly makes unusual noises or shows any signs of bent or broken parts, as this can easily worsen the damage to the top mechanism and to your pocketbook.

!e Boxster top did receive a few design changes throughout the lifespan of the model. 2003 saw the introduction of a much-needed heated glass rear window to replace the original plastic rear window. !e plastic rear windows tend to get cloudy with age and use and can even tear. !ere are a"ermarket heated rear glass window kits available for the early Boxsters that are a good upgrade if installed by a competent upholstery shop.

!e 987 Boxsters saw minor changes in the top side seal design for aerodynamic reasons. !e elastic rope and straps that maintain lateral tension on the canvas can break, causing the sides of the top to fold over the plastic side rails when the top is closed. !e tension rope can easily be replaced, and replacement tensioning straps can be sewn in if necessary.

!e 996 and 997 convertible top is more complex in operation than that of its two-seat roadster sibling because it is necessarily larger to cover the 911’s larger 2+2 seat interior. !e main folding part of the top is operated by hydraulic cylinders that are actuated via an electro-hydraulic pump. A separate electric motor powers the hard tonneau cover. !e rear quarter windows are electrically operated, as are the side tonneau cover #aps. !e top is latched to the windshield automatically with a single electrically actuated latch at the center.

!e complex orchestra of events that

take place with each opening and closure of the top requires all of the relevant microswitches to be functional and properly adjusted. If the emergency operation of either the main folding top or the latching motor is ever required (via the Allen key in the car’s factory toolkit), the top needs

to be subsequently checked for proper adjustment by a Porsche specialist, and the top electronics must be reinitialized with a factory-level scan tool. Such a scan tool is also needed to accurately diagnose the electrical side of the convertible top. !e hydraulics must be in good working order and the #uid level should be periodically checked. !e system uses a very small amount of special hydraulic #uid, so the slightest leak in the system can manifest itself as noisy and erratic top operation.

If your 996 top rattles while driving over bumps or rough roads while closed, it is o"en due to worn guide pins at the front of the top. !ese pins help to center the top in the windshield header. !e guide pins were redesigned for the 997 models and are an easy bolt-on replacement for 996s.

!e 996 and 997 cars feature emergency roll-over bars that pop up in the event of a roll-over accident. !e bars deploy if tilt sensors determine that the car is about to roll over. !ese rollover bars can pop up even if a full rollover does not occur. Large bumps taken at high speed have been known to trigger the roll-over bars, as well as violent spinouts. If the bars do pop up on your 996 or 997 cabrio, the only damage that usually occurs is to some minor trim covers. !e bars can be retracted manually, but this should be le" to a trained professional as the bars are under a large amount of spring tension, and serious injury can occur if a roll bar were to slip while attempting retraction.

Care For Your Top!e best advice that I can give for long-

term care of your convertible top fabric is to limit its sun exposure as much as possible. UV rays can harden the canvas over time, making it more prone to wear marks and

tearing. For those who cannot garage their so"-topped car, a good outdoor car cover is a wise investment. !e plastic rear windows of the air-cooled 911s and early Boxsters and 996s also harden and cloud due to exposure to the sun.

!e fabric top can be cleaned with soap and a so"-bristled brush. Regular car wash soap will not harm the fabric if used periodically, but there are specialized gentler fabric cleaners and protectants available that are better suited for keeping canvas clean. Plastic rear windows should be cleaned carefully, and utmost care should be taken to avoid scratches. !ere are polish kits available that can do a remarkable job in clearing up plastic windows. Polishing will not make the window as clear as it was when new and will not help a completely opaque rear window, but it is certainly worth the e$ort on partially cloudy plastic.

Here in Santa Barbara we are blessed with the ability to enjoy convertible-topped sports cars year round. !e best way to ensure the long-term health of any convertible top mechanism is through normal use and periodic maintenance and functional checks by a quali%ed specialist. !at, along with remembering to not force the top when something is amiss, will help to keep the wind in your hair and the smile on your face for years to come. =

If you see this, STOP operating the top immediately.
