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

Hi, Bit of a newbie here on this forum, anyway I have been having a problem with the roof on my 2001 996 cabriolet. When I close the roof up it generally doesn't close first time and needs a second go (or a little encouragement) for the hook to engage into the latch. Is there a way to retrain the roof or make an adjustment somewhere to get the roof to close first time, the hook is getting pretty scratched up from all the knocking against the top sill of the car and I'm getting pretty fed up Any help would be appreciated

POST 2Original post

Sometimes the hydraulic rams for lifting the top leak fluid. Once enough fluid has leaked out the top will not lift. The pump will still run but it will time out and stop. If you see oil in front of your rear wheels the rams need to be replaced. I forget if you need to remove a interior panel to see the rams from above. Not sure if this is your problem just a FYI.

POST 3Original post

Whatever you do if you know or suspect you have a leak or fluid in low i that reservoir, do not let the pump run dry. The repair parts have been superceded to a new design that requires many parts to be trplaced and upgraded and can be very expensive. Bite the bullt and have someone take a look soon or it may cost you $$$ later.
