I have a 1999 porsche 996 and a friend of mine jumping from the backseat out of the car bashed one of the 2 roof flaps in putting his weight on it. Now the closure system is working still, but the opening doesn't properly: to open the damaged flap i have to lift it up manually. Is there anything i can do by my self? What should i have to check?
