I went today to Burwell, unfortunately Ian was unable to help.I then went to Cambridge OPC, ((at this point I have to say I have had nothing but help from them on the couple of occasions I have visited, in contrast to some horror stories on the main forums(or is it fora?) about other OPC's. Credit when credit is due folks!)) Anyway, I asked the service desk if the parts dept had any magic solution to cure squeaks in a Boxster Hood. The lady said she would ask one of the mechanics and mentioned Gumiflegdge, at which point I said I understood that was a BMW product, which was acknowledged. The recommendation was Holts silicon and rubber lubricant.
I then went to the BMW dealer and a very helpful parts guy told me Gumifledge had been discontinued about 18 months ago and spent some time searching for a replacement product but couldn't find one.Apparently it was a small bottle and cost about £30!
I will have a go with the Holts tomorrow but surely I cannot be the only Boxster owner with an irritating squeak on one side only that I cannot get a solution to???
Thank you again however for your help.
Regards
Peter
