Cab Side Flap
I've got a lazy passenger side flap on my cab. When I purchased the car last year, the top wouldn't go down because the flap wouldn't move. I've lubed it up and cycled it numerous times and now I can get it to work but it takes a few seconds (10 - 15), for it to complete it's travel.
I don't readily see a way to pull the screwjack assembly from the car. I figure if I can get it out, I can clean and lube the threads properly and maybe even open the motor and clean the stator/brushes and get it working as it should.
Has anyone done this? Tips? Things to watch out for?
Thanks,
Mark

Mark, I dont have any advise for you since I dont own a cab but you would probably get more input from a model specific forum like 911 or 997 (you dont mention what year your car is)
Good luck

Thanks for the welcome.
It's a 2015 918 Spyder.
Wait. No, it's a 2000 996 C2 Cab. The car had and still has a few snags that I'm working through. I know I can get past this one if there's a straightforward way to get the mech out.
Any input is appreciated.
