Default Open roof malfunction
Hi,
Suddenly my roof wont close
The wind deflector stays high on the left side so the roof cant close
I have to manually push down the black plastic to get the roof closed
Anyone had the same problem ?
Easy fix or not ?
Thanks
Eric

Are you referring to the sunroof or cabriolet top? If its the sunroof, its a very easy fix. I had one of the wind deflector arms break on my car. It turned out to be very easy to repair and cheap! I replaced both sides just to be safe.

I needed that part a few years ago and I believe it was about $1.25....the cheapest Porsche part I ever bought!
