To replace the heater core in the cabin of the Porsche Boxster, open the hood to access the components located in the engine compartment. First, remove the wiper motor along with the corresponding wiper blades.

Underneath, you will find the radiator protection panel: by removing this panel, you can disconnect the corresponding hoses to pull the part out of its location. This will allow you to insert the new heater core, installing it properly and reassembling the wipers.
