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.

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

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Has anyone experienced any major problems with the 2001/2002 922 Cabriolet? thanks

POST 2Original post

Not really but you do get more rattle in a cab. 02 has glass in back window which lasts longer and require no maint. If you are looking for a cab, I'd strongly recommend a 02+. The additional money is well worth it considering you get 3.6L, better looks & aerodynamics, better interior, better top, Bose option, better sounding stock exhaust.

POST 3Original post

You do know about RMS right? Manual tranny failure is also very expensive. These are common issues amongst 996 and 997 and not just cabs. If either is unfamiliar to you, do a search. This makes 02 more attractive as there is still a bit of warranty left on 02. BTW, you cannot fit a top w glass into a 99-01 cab. No such retrofit exists yet.

POST 4Original post

Found out the hard way that there is an issue with many of the plastic back windows ....2001 will have one. The lower edge, horizontal glue seam ... the one keeping the top fabric lying flush against the plastic window .... has worked loose in some cabs. (at least enough so that the dealer and the top shop were very familiar with the issue when I drove up). This does not open the car to the outside, but does serve as a 3" deep scoop to collect leaves and rain water. Looks like some sort of air scoop as you scoot down the road. Apparently, it cannot repaired. Cost me a new aftermarket top (with sewn in window vice glued in). The installer said he had heard of one shop that would remove the old top, sew around the window to close this up and then reinstall top. I did not think that to be a good idea. If you take a 2001 with any remaining warranty, or a Porsche certified extended warranty, then check to see if this would be covered.
