2000 Porsche Boxster (986) F6-2.7L Page 99

1.2 Remove the 6 mounting screws (J-20 Torx) for the side storage bins.

Note:

These will be used later to mount the speakers.

1.3 Using the rotary tool with the cutoff bit, cut the epoxy holding the front of the storage bin to the storage compartment. A safety knife can be

used to cut any remaining glue away.

Caution!

The front of the storage compartment is made of very thin plastic. It is very easy to break it while removing the storage bin if all the glue is not

cut away

1.4 While depressing the side tabs, carefully move the storage bin to the rear and lift out of the storage compartment. (Figure 2)

1.5 Remove all remaining glue from the storage compartment using the rotary tool with the drum sander attachment. Install the speaker grilles

making sure that they are snapped in on both side tabs.

1.6 Glue the bottom edge of the speaker grille using the hot glue gun. Apply the glue also behind the side mounting tabs. This will keep the tabs

from spreading preventing the grille popping out.

1.7 Plug the speakers into the speaker harness. The speaker harness exits on the right side of the storage compartment. Install the speakers in the

storage compartment using 8 Torx screws (6 saved plus 2 supplied with the kit). Secure the harness with the cable clips. (Figure 3)

1.8 The storage compartment is now complete. Install it in the vehicle.

Note: If you are updating to the later style storage compartment, the old style compartment or hold down must be removed first. Install the

mounting hardware and rose in the new storage compartment before installing in the vehicle.

2. Installing the wiring harness from the radio to the speakers.

2.1 Remove the r/s rear panel, which covers the seatbelt retractor and roll bar mounting.

2.2 Remove the r/s rocker panel storage compartment and the plastic carpet support that's under it.
