I don't know how badly "water-damaged" the seats are, but Leatherique is supposed to work very well http://www.leatherique.com/. I have not tried it on a project like yours, but was happy with how it did on some old horse tack. Maybe someone else here has experience.by TheFarmer - Main Forum

I have always felt that the Boxster is a very practical car. I have had as many of 7 cases of wine in it (3 in front, 2 back, 2 on passenger floor/seat) But I've got to admit that the case with 2 rows of 6 bottles was very helpful for the back.by TheFarmer - Main Forum
By the time my front pads had worn down through daily street use, my front rotors were pretty far gone, so I replaced the rotors with the pads. Which of course does require removing the caliper. These cars are interesting - go through front rotors at 2-to-1 and through rear tires at 2-to-1 (stop in the front, go in the back, I guess)by TheFarmer - Main Forum
If there are different specs, you would think that the computer at the parts department would pull up the right ones. I am inclined to suspect the coils, but then the question becomes one of how to inspect/test the coils when servicing the plugs.by TheFarmer - Main Forum

Om my '05 987 I replaced the plugs about a year ago (with a post at ppbb) and it was a simple job. Recently, I had the car into the dealer for a warning light on the coolant and I had a hard time starting the car on the day I took it in. The tech said that the plugs were badly worn and the coils were cracked. So I got 60K out of the original plugs, but only 15 out of the replacements - I suspby TheFarmer - Main Forum
I feel that the reason that I have a Porsche is because of how great it feels while driving it, and the fact that I can count on the acceleration, steering and brakes. Maybe the top will get stuck or the radio won't work or a headlight will fail, but the things that I really need to work - brakes and tires - are the things that I keep a close watch on. I do my own pads and rotors, my own plugsby TheFarmer - Main Forum

But one time I had left some dog food in the garage in the winter. The mice had broken into the bag and the dog food was gone. Later I found it filling up the golf bag!! Not to bad, but even later, I found that I had a dog-food pre-cleaner for the air intake on my Explorer. I was probably driving around with it for months. At any rate, be glad you are no longer in Buffalo - nice place, but wby TheFarmer - Main Forum
This reply is more difficult to write than I thought - I REALLY don't want to offend in any way, but I can't figure out a way to put my question without sounding like a jerk. (but that is what I do best) I would very much like to know of a good indy in the area. But can you share why 3 months have gone by and not much has happened... is it just the "Bull of Winter", and since you don't want toby TheFarmer - Main Forum
Yes, this is what happened to me. Here is where the problem shows up: The elastic is attached to the outer top fabric, just inside the cable, as show here: You can get better access by lowering the top a bit more. There are 2 velcro tabs holding the inner top to the frame: These can be safely released (but be sure to put them back in place before closing) Here you can see that once theby TheFarmer - Main Forum
On my '05 987, I was having trouble with the top - not fitting into the channels behind the door when closing. I discovered that there are 2 elastic straps that pull the top fabric, but these pieces of elastic were completely shot, giving no tension at all. At the dealer the other day, I tried to get them to fix this, but got an answer that "those elastics are part of the top, you would need aby TheFarmer - Main Forum
