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

Heres an interesting One Had a problem with the roof not closing properly - add some Porsche Oil to the reservoir and that sorted that out BUT (Why is there always a BUT !!) The Roof Opens and Close perfectly well with the KEY FOB (Especially now ive got a decent battery) But occasionally it doesn't CLOSE from the Switch. I think this could be One of the sensors as its intermittent Sensors are BOOT, HANDBRAKE I do have a unit fitted that allows the Roof to be opened at up to 25mph but I don't think its this With my unit fitted the BOOT OPEN stops the roof working but HANDBRAKE OFF or car in DRIVE allows the roof to work from switch Maybe its the MAIN SWITH beginning to fail
