Hi,

I have searched the other threads concerning cabrio roof problems, but I can't find what I am looking for, so any help with the following greatly appreciated.

Last summer I had the roof down, and when parking the car and closing the roof, one side stopped rising after about 1/3 of the way. Fortunately I noticed in time and stopped. The other side would run both ways, but the passenger side stubbornly would not.

As the roof was stuck, I referred to the driver's manual, which said to slacken the two large bolts behind the rear side panels, and move the roof manually, which I did. I retightened the bolts, and I haven't used the roof since.

I now want to get the problem sorted. Having retightened the bolts, I would expect one side still to function, but it doesn't. I can hear both motors turning, but there is no roof movement.

What do these large bolts do? What is the process I should follow to put it all back together so that it works?

Any help much appreciated.

Best,

Jeremy.

 

Hi Jeremy

Not big problem!
Check if this four screws are screw on to the transmission on passengers, and drivers side.

Good luck!

Well done noticing before any damage incurred!!!

 

+1 -- I am replacing my b-pillar this weekend due to it snapping in half.

 

964 cab received high marks from Car&Driver in 7/92 for its "slick" vert top BUT i would happily pay (along with a lot of 993 owners i think) if someone developed an installation to convert the vert to full manual operation & eliminate all the motors - including the windscreen & cables.....(guess it exists in going full bore speedster conversion....but thats pricey).

 

Most likely, as mentioned, loose bolts... you are very lucky to have caught it before breaking something $$... now go buy a lotto ticket...
