#883 of 887 Re: wind deflector vibrates by houstonowner Oct 18, 2009 (9:29 am)
Replying to: lisahu (Jun 10, 2009 1:12 pm) I have a new 2009 Boxster. My wind deflector rattles and vibrates at speeds of 70 mph or more. Any suggestions about how I can fix this? It seems that there should be some type of reinforcement across the top of the plastic, from side to side, to prevent the vibration and shuddering. Any comments appreciated.

Replying to: dc881 (Sep 18, 2003 4:06 pm) I have a 2009 Boxster with PDK. For some reason the car hesitates or slightly sputters sometimes. This is driving me crazy. The dealer says the car checks out ok but they've had some issues with the PDK clutch(es) slipping. My problems feels more like a fuel injection issue - like the engine is not getting fuel immediately. Does anyone else have this issue and has found a resolution? All replies appreciated. Thanks.

Replying to: houstonowner (Oct 18, 2009 9:29 am) DONT fix it yourself. This is a factory defect. Report it, take it back, they need to fix it for free. The wind deflector should not vibrate what so ever, not even a bit. Not even when your driving at 200 KM!! take it back and report it, coz if you mess around with it they'll blame you for the issue.   if by any chance your hearing a metallic virbation from behind and you mistook it for the wind deflector, then i know for a fact that the previous boxsters (2006 and 2007) have a defect and they occasionally make that noise when you first start accellerating, and i beleiev there was a peice they decided to add on all new cars after their first service. But I am sure the 2009 should have this issue resolved already.

Replying to: houstonowner (Oct 18, 2009 9:29 am) The fix is 2-3 small pieces of weather-strip foam with a sticky side. That's what they will do a the dealer for no cost like another posted suggests. Bring it in if you want, or save time, get some of this 1/4" foam strip stuff yourself. Put a 1" piece on the 2 sides and the bottom to tighten it up a bit. Worked for me for 2 years.

The internet can be a scary place especially if your researching reviews on a car. I interested in buying a 03' Boxster S - it has 60,000 miles and the dealer is willing to throw in a 12-month bumper to bumper warranty. I'm still hesitant just because of everything I'm hearing with the engine issues.... Is there a particular model VIN that the issue are more common? The price is comparable to Edmunds pricing, just cautious about the expense of a Porsche, which I've dreamed of owning since I was a kid.... You all seem to know the car, what should I look out for, how long does the clutch last, expected what does or will need? for that 60,000 of a car?
