I have replaced my worn top, including the frame, with a top from a much lower mileage 996.

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.

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

0 evidence records excluded for query context · 0 excluded by outcome qualification · 0 adjusted by outcome qualification.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I have replaced my worn top, including the frame, with a top from a much lower mileage 996. When the new top is up, it fits perfectly. When I try lowering it, the roof folds down but leaves a 1" gap between the top and the roll-bars panel. The bigger problem is that the clamshell does not go down completely. It stays about 2 feet above the back area. If anyone knows what I should be checking, I will appreciate your advice. Thanks in advance.

POST 2Original post

did you "recalibrate" after installing the replacement top?

This. Does the top complete it's sequence when opening? (i.e. do the windows raise at the end of the cycle, even though the clamshell is up, or do the windows NOT raise, and the cycle just stalls at the clamshell closure step?) With much more detail, photos, etc., we might be able to help more.

This is a source reference. Confirm exact model applicability in the original material.
