I just bought a 2001 Porsche Carrera and have a few questions. I love the car, it's fun to drive. The former owner told me that it takes three tries to close the sunroof. He said he sent over $600 to remedy this problem, with no avail. I wonder if some of you have experienced the same problem. It will close after a third attempt.
Another question that I have, I am looking for a warranty company that would ensure this car with any mechanical problems. So far everything is fine. I had the engine and the transmission checked by a local Porsche mechanic that I use. I also own a 1970 9/11 Porsche.
I would appreciate some input on those two items
thanks again,
Vince

Take it to your trusted independent Porsche repair facility. And in the meantime, post a photo of the car and folks might respond to your question.

Try lubricating the sunroof screw and track w/ silicone.
If that doesn't work then push the button 3 times.

ps. Nice car!

Bella1, very nice looking car. I have a moving toward converting my '02 to class I for 2010. Would you have a few interior shots that you car share (cage, dash all that cool stuff). Thanks

ooh man that last one needs deleted.

Yes... it does.

I'd rather see a nice side view of the 996 with the 997 turbo wheels.

This is all I have. One issue involves the 996 and the seats. The width of stock or GT3 Seats is 16". My Racetech seat is 15" and I had a company make these brackets which allow you to use sliders or not. The Safety Devices cage is fine but not as rigid as a custom job. I have Moton 3 Way shocks and upgraded suspension GT 3 parts. FVD Headers with stock cats and muffler by pass pipes. Stock intake of course as required. And I still have additional weight I will need to remove, legally of course, to really compete in Stock H. Best of luck with your conversion.

On another note, if you want my advice, I would buy a race car already built. Consider the new Spec Box Class. I co drive a Spec Box a NJMP two weeks ago. They are a blast and you can get one for $30,000 or less. I highly recommend Scott Leopold and Kenny Shreves at Werkstatt. It was one of their cars I drove.
