So hopefully should just be drop out the motors, re-sync the cable and replace the fuse.

Went out in the car today not having taken it for a run for a week and when driving on the motorway started to hear wind noise, when I stopped I noticed the passenger side part of the roof has dropped about 1cm ?

These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Hi, Went out in the car today not having taken it for a run for a week and when driving on the motorway started to hear wind noise, when I stopped I noticed the passenger side part of the roof has dropped about 1cm ? Quite concerened as it looks like it would let in a lot of water however it still opens and closes properly. Will ost a picture tomorrow.

POST 2 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

So here is the driver side that is good, a nice tight fit

POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

And here is the passenger side which you can see has dropped enough to get a finger under ?

POST 4Original post

I'm not too familiar with Targa roofs, but I know they can be a pain to fix, especially on 993's. The only thing I can find on the parts list which might have broken is item 1 on the attached. Unfortunately, they are only available as a repair kit (2 of each, items 1 & 2), priced at £550 a set. Not a quick fit item either, as far as I can make out. Best bet would be to take it to an indy, and see what they have to say. With luck, I will be totally wrong.

POST 5 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Thanks Richard, suspect it is no 2 that has failed. Will make a few phone calls tomorrow and brace myself for some spending [8|]

POST 6 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Made some phone calls and hopefully just a couple of hours labour charge. The roof is powered by two motors and linked by a cable, if the fuse fails on one of the motors the cable gets out of sync as only one of the motors is powering the hood and therefore doesn't sit correctly when closing. So hopefully should just be drop out the motors, re-sync the cable and replace the fuse. If not it will be a new motor which is around the £300 mark.
