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

Hi all, A friend of mine bought himself a 996 4 Convertible recently. Just before the deal was done the roof started playing up and it stops when it is up 90 degrees in the air and won't budge going down all the way. It closes and reopens to that point no problems? We checked handbrake and engine lid switches as well as disconnecting the battery over night. Didn't help. Is this a common problem? Did someone had this before and how was it fixed? Does it need to be connected to a system tester to "relearn" its Limit switches or something? Any help would be highly appreciated. Thanks and best regards Marty
