Hi all, just a quick tip for those of you that have the greatest roadster on the planet[
]. When cleaning your Boxster don't forget to clean under the roof flap. If it is not cleaned and dried on a regular basis, muck can build up underneath, this can then block the drain holes. If the drain holes are blocked up, water will not be able to drain away and can cause rust after a prolonged period of time (don't panic, its an extreme case). I know from a couple of conversations I have had with other members that they are unaware that there are any drain holes at all.
So top tip, next time you clean your Boxster, have a look underneath the roof flap, you may be a little shocked whats in there.
See the photos below of where the drain holes are under the roof flap.
