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.

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

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I have a 2002 911 Cab. I have replaced the struts and changed the oil for the cab movement mechanism. I have run into a new issue where the roof retracts to its fully folded position and the cover begins to move into place. It halts and retries as the side flaps have not deployed fully (they are approximately 2/3 of the way down). After a few attempts, the flaps fully deploy and the cover fully seats. I believe that the flap mechanism is just tired and I want to replace but I am having a hard time identifying the part I need and a description of how to replace. Any help is much appreciated.

POST 2Original post

Step one is lubricate the screw kn the flaps. I use a lithium based. Spray on and wipe off and do a few times. Also, put a towels behind the screw when you spray or you can get grease on the flap

POST 3Original post

I think they are a bit expensive new but there are ones of flap assemblies available on eBay.

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