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.

Hi all, Can I ask you to take a look at these pictures? Boxster 987 roof. Seemingly works OK, roof fits within the side rails, but.. in my car there is a cord on both sides that is not connected to anywhere. It end is a small plastic cap and does not seem broken. From the internet sources I think this small piece of cord should be guided through two small elastic loops and somehow attached to a piece of fabric with a plastic cord inside which runs at the edge of the inner liner maybe. Could you check what's wrong with my roof, what should I do, how important it is that these cords are connected, etc.? Thank you.

It looks like the tension rope, as you indicated, going across (and inside) the liner but not 100% sure - did you purchase this used or had it since new? I would check the liner inside the car (and see if anything is sagging). You may be able to get some insights here - Outstanding Tech Contribution! - 987 Boxster - Roof... Or wait for Don to reply

Thanks. It's not the long tension cord (plead cord) that connects the two sides of the roof, that's a bit higher up. And not the famous elastic, it's a bit downwards. Maybe somebody could take a picture of the same spot of his/her car?
