The cabrio control unit is known for developing solder faults on all contact pins. A guy with some soldering experience can fix this.
Cheers,

Find a mechanic with grey hair. If you’re near west palm beach, go to Stahl Motorsports. Tell Danny I said hello.

That top was not Porsche’s finest hour.

Actually, it's a very well designed and simple system. Luckily, you and other 911/964/993 cab top owners didn't have same cab top designers as the later Porsches had!
