Porsche Boxster 981 - Air con maintenance in a convertible - Daniel Joseph

Hello, I've recently taken delivery of a Porsche Boxster, which has climate control as standard. The car will be used only in dry weather, almost always with the top down. I understand that air conditioning needs to be run regularly to stop the seals drying out, but I'm unsure as to whether it would do any harm to run it when the top is down. In other words, would the climate control be overworked trying to achieve the set temperature and de-humidifying the air in the open? I would appreciate your advice, thank you.

You only need to worry about seals drying out if the system becomes inoperative through lack of refridgerant gas.Convertible cars with climate control usually operate a slightly different programme when the roof is down ,otherwise the system is trying to cool the world above.Be aware that selecting the "auto" programme may not engage the a/c system.There is often a seperate button for the a/c function.Just use it and enjoy it.
