Just a "heads up" for anyone with headliner problems on a 986 Boxster. Mine is a 2001 with just over 31,000 miles. On the way home from my purchase, the headliner kept falling on my head. After extensive research and forum's, I learned the following: early Boxsters all seem to have this problem eventually. The headliner on this vehicle is not glued in place, it is suspended by plastic bars sewn into a a small sleeve on the back side, and then attached at the ends (right and left). The main problem is that the leading plastic rod (at the windshield) usually breaks at one corner. This piece is no longer available from Porsche, and finding a used one is like finding a needle in a haystack! The best fix that I found and totally agree with is to simply remove it. It doesn't look bad at all and could easily have come that way originally. I don't think that the early model 986 had a headliner.
Thanks for the info and welcome to Carpokes! Any chance you have a picture of the plastic rod that breaks? When I hear of NLA plastic parts, I wonder about the possibility of creating a 3D printable replacement...
