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

howdy all... my 996 soft top is in need of some repairs. as you can see from pictures, the wire which runs on the very edge of the top snapped at the very bottom (only clip is left in place): because of the wire not pulling on the side of the top, it does not end up sitting inside the grove properly: it looks like i should be able to pull the old cable out and put a new one in. the questions are: 1. is this an easy DIY project? (looks like it) 2. i could not find how the wire is secured on the opposite end. 3. any special tools i might need? thanks.

POST 2Original post

Ref earlier posts.... Did you store your car with the top up or down??? A tech told me "UP" was preferred!!!

POST 3Original post

rdstemler, when we use our hard tops thru the winter, the soft top must be down. I doubt that Porsche would sell the HT if leaving the top down was a problem.

Check out threads for rear window replacement. I'd put a link here, except I don't know how!!! Semi web illiterate!!!

POST 9Original post

jkb...I got exactly the same problem...there is a cable and it snapped...I never put the top up....so I guess I got to change that after the repair.
