Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

Pull carpet check fluid if low reach in on both sides to see if hydraulic pistons are leaking?

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

First time using forum Can anyone out there assist with a query I have on my 996 convertible roof At what point should the level of the hydraulic oil be checked , Roof opens but the lid fails to close ,also windows does not close.

POST 2Original post

I was recently having a problem with my convertible roof not lifting up. 2003 996 I’ve had since 09, so probably original fluid. Didn’t notice any issues with windows though. I wound up adding the hydraulic fluid ( it was definitely very low and I really couldn’t aspirate the remaining old fluid out). A good YouTube video helped. Fixed the issue.

POST 3Original post

The clam shell is driven by an electric motor and cables with an encoder. The encoder is on the rear of the motor. You can check the position with an Ohm meter. If the cables are binding it will cause the encoder to bounce in and out (chatter) and cause the lid to not close. Pull carpet check fluid if low reach in on both sides to see if hydraulic pistons are leaking? Top will need to be calibrated if you reset encoder.
