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.

6 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Good morning. New to the forum. Was looking for advice from someone who has good experience in the Houston TX area. 2002 996 and looking to replace the convertible top. Anyone in the area have a recommendation on a good shop that does convertible top replacement work? I'm up on the north side of town, Woodlands area. Additionally I've been through 2 different repair shops and just not getting a great feeling about how they are doing business. Any Porsche quality mechanic recommendations? Thanks and look forward to learning on the forums.

POST 2Original post

I'm not in your area so can't help with a mechanic rec but consider auto upholstery shops with Porsche convertible top experience.
