soft top alignment

[jimyboyle]

My top fabric goes to the outside of the B pillar when the roof is closed. If I guide the fabric into the correct place it sits about 1/4" away from the post rather than go into the locating groove.

I downloaded the Porsche 'fix' and found that the springs were sitting flat down on the part they are located on by the two screws. I assume the top end of the springs are meant to sit on the sliders so have moved them on top of the sliders. Is that correct?

The springs were not bowed atall just flat so turning them over makes no difference. Should they be a bow shape?

Any other ides as to why the fabric does not locate?

Thanks

Jim

When I had this problem, I noticed that the spring was slightly bowed toward the front (away from the roof) and reversing them did the trick very well.

You may need a new leaf spring. I would go to a porsche dealer to have them check it.
