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

Greetings... just decided to take my 996 Convertible out after a winter sit. Tried to drop the top but the old Cabriolet was not having it. Latch comes down clam shell comes up. I freed the front thinking it was rubber stuck but it will not lift. Suggestions on what to look for ? any tricks to try? Need some advice....

POST 2Original post

Check your hydraulic fluid level? Hard if it won’t move, to get it into services position though.

POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post
