Video tutorial

Unfortunately, accessing the engine compartment on a Porsche Boxster is not as simple as just lifting the hood. First, normally lift the rear hood but stop it about halfway, as shown in the video.

Then, detach the side clips and free the fabric from the two clips located behind the rear windshield. Lift this area and rest it on the car's convertible top. Now, release the two clips that secure the rear hood supports and lift the hood, then hold it in a vertical position.

Slightly lift and unscrew the round clips that secure the two engine compartment covers.
