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 convertible top will not open all the way. The back cowl cover lifts up to let the top down but will not close to hide the compressed top. The top will come back up but it is real choppy when closing. Any ideas of the problem from the group.
Leaky hydraulics and/or rams.

who I used about 5 yrs ago, any decent indy shop can do it.
Anyone know what their DIY kit for the 996 goes for?
Mine does the same. One of the side flaps is really slow to open and close causing the clamshell not to fully close. Anyone see this before?
