When your top is down is there a noticeable gap where the arrows indicate on my photo? Reason I ask is I have recently solved a convertible top operating problem, but notice a gap where I can actually insert the tips of my fingers. I never actually noticed this gap before and may be fretting about nothing at all. Are all 996 owners paranoiac?

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.

My cab also has that gap. It's somewhat annoying because the visible material underneath is grey in color, while the cab material is black.
Well for me Doug that is good news. Thanks a million mate.
My Mk I C2's profile is nearly identical: >'99 Cab w/hardtop >70K miles >Daily driver, pretty much. >Tell tale gap when top is down, just like Hurdigurdi Man's. Could this be an early warning sign of forthcoming IMS failure? (Are we paranoid? ABSOLUTELY NOT! Now leave me alone.) ha.
Hurdi...I have that gap too. is yours wide enough to add more badging? I'm thinking you could fit C A B R I O L E T in there! .

haha nice one haha.. But at least I am easier in my mind now and the top is working as normal every time from dash and key in door up and down.
This is a source reference. Confirm exact model applicability in the original material.
