These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

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.

Do you lubricate the mechanical parts of the sunroof on your 996? If so, what's the preferred product to use, and where do you apply it? My sunroof isn't sounding great, and I don't want to have it break due to my lack of maintenance. Thanks!
