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.

roof will not open on my boxster,closed fine the night before went to open in morning opened latch windows came down as normal, but roof would not open, one side at the back tries to open, the other motor on the other side is not engaging at all it seems!!! The light for roof on dash is permanantly on. I don't know where to start really, but could it be sensor does anybody know?
It sound as if one of the drive cables has stretched and is not engaging in the transmission on that side. Check this info: http://sites.google.com/site/mikefocke2/thetopcables Happy Boxstering, Pedro
Is the clam shell opening up? If no, then you probably have a broken cable. If yes, then you probably have a broken plastic ball pivot. BC.
