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.

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.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

The boot lid lifts up but the convertible top does not. Parking brake on, engine cover closed, checked fuses with no result. Anyone know the cause?

POST 2Original post

Google search will turn up many remedies for top issues...Common TOPic these days.

POST 3Original post

Even a search here on Rennlist will give you many options to explore. Microswitches, latch mechanisms, low fluid, busted parts...the list is endless. So glad I have a coupe.

POST 4Original post

Ditto above, but I would check the fluid level first, since t's easy.

POST 5 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

side flap was stuck. Followed instructions in manual and used alan wrench to manually release it. Saved a few bucks. Thanks.
