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.

2 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Hi , I'm new to this forum......I got a 2008 Boxster and I'm having some issues with the final step when closing the top. The drains got clogged and went water inside , so I had to change the module under the driver seat , unclugged the drains, programmed and now this is the situation.... The top is working properly but.....first is not doing the 1 touch function....also you can't operate it over 6 or 7 mph.....and is not doing the final adjustment when you latch it....it closes the windows but won't do the last adjustment to the cup. Any ideas!? Thanks Henry
