Boxster 986 / 987 Roof Push Rod End

98656127902  Heavy duty steel version to replace the fragile original plastic one, which is very prone to breaking. Fits left or right, price is for one piece. If only one side of your top raises when you try to close it, check the push rods.  A broken or disconnected push rod on either side will prevent that side from raising automatically.  The most common point of failure on these push rods is the nylon ball socket ends.  These are a built-in "weak link", designed to break if the top binds, preventing damage to more expensive components.
