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

Hello, I have recently been having periodic issues with the convertible top closing / activating. I noticed the trim flapper on driverside sometime doesnt activate and im guessing allowing the top to activate and close. Passenger flapper is working fine. When i have had this issue prior i just keep trying till it works. I can put the metal top cover through its paces and allow the windows to go up etc now i have noticed the rear side windows are not responding either even with switch. I;m guessing maybe a micro switch is not working on say the drivers side flap etc ? The power top switch has power as you can close the rear cover and can see a power draw if you hold long enough. This top issue comes and goes so I figure not top motor and the rear quarter windows are not working either. Any ideas etc greatly appreciated. Sincerely, Rodney 99 996 carrera

I had similar problems when my top needed replacement. The problem is probably an alignment/adjustment issue. I guess after 8+ years of opening and closing things get a little out of whack. All of my problems magically went away when I had my top replaced.

POST 3Original post

Lube your rear spiral gears for the flaps and that will take care of that issue. For the windows, check to make sure the plastic covering on the top latch is still there and the tip is not broken off. http://docwilenracing.wordpress.com/...96-cab-repair/
