Spring adjusting on a convertible 996 top
#3
adjusting the spring.
The spring is still good. If I pull on the spring the top goes back in the grove. Drivers side the top is over the lip and passengers side is pulled in too far. If I pull of push on the spring everything lines up but I can't be on both sides at the same time.

If the spring is too tight, I was told you can stretch the spring (irreversibly) using plastic deformation: by pulling the spring too far past where it should go. If you have a spring that’s not tight enough, the spring needs to be replaced.
