That tool is for ...

Inside fuse cover of a 2007 987 Boxster. I doubt it's a fuse puller made of metal.

I actually have no idea what it is, perhaps for pulling relays? Does it say in the pamphlet?

... removing a stuck key in the ignition.

We got stuck. Tried to create a pin.
Ultimately had to send Rich out for paper clips. UGH.

... Porsche detail is the grommet on the rear trunk lid specifically designed to hold a 1 qt container of Mobil1 oil upside down so that it can drain completely.

that is just too funny. i seemed to recall seeing that in my MY2000 boxster but thought it was just a plug of some kind. never gave it much thought. i dug up an old photo and sho-nuff, there it was!
this is one of those things that makes me think "no way!" but i guess why else would it be there? i always bought Mobil 1 in 4 (or 5?) liter jugs since it was much less expensive so i never had an opportunity to use that feature.

I knew someone would know. Of course not surprised by you thanks

Gotta love Porsche for sweating the details.

My favorite 'detail' on my 986 is the little half-moon cutout on the bottom of the drivers side door strip that allows you to run a charger wire under the door without overly compressing the weather seal.
