Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

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

Hey guys, does any know why my convetible top could get stuck and does not open fully? it gets stuck when it is about 95% open, however if i push on the part that covers the canvas slightly while it is opening, it will then open correctly. My P-car is a 1999 with 95,xxx and beside the normal wear and tear of a daily driver it runs great! Thanks, Jason

POST 2Original post

Does it happen everytime and/or are you trying to open it while parked on an incline because I read somewhere that it can malfunction when not operated on a level surface. Pete
