You will have to remove torx bolts in order to access the cabin air filter. The tools necessary may not be readily available for a repair. Changing the headlight bulbs can be tough, as you will have to completely remove the housing first. The center brake light can be tough to replace, as you’ll have to use a few tools to complete extra steps for access.
Some things are easier on the 1998 Porsche Boxster. The components of the spare tire are easily accessible in the front of the vehicle. This keeps the tire and jack kit ready to go in case of emergency. Changing the front wiper blade with reliability is no problem. Other models will require the use of tools when changing your blades. Access for the tail light bulbs is not too difficult, as you only have to peel back one lining for access.
