Hi,

My little girl left one of her toys on my 997 cab. I was not aware, today I opened the roof. The toy got stuck and prefented the roof cover to close correctly (the cover near the engine hood that covers the hood when the top is down).

I now need the adjust the closing of my top cover (there is one seam on the side which is now too wide). I noticed two bolts underneath the top on each side which give a bit of adjustablilty. Just wondering whether there are more possiblilties to adjust the topcover?

Thanks, frank

While probably adjustable ,after taking a look at mine it would appear adjusting things would be a complicated task given the number and complexity of attachment points. Good news is the various lever arms appear to be made of sturdy stuff and, I would guess, not easily bent. The cover itself is another story. If it appears to be unaffected I think you repair cost just went way down. While more than willing to take on a challenging repair myself from time to time, I don't think I'd attempt adjusting things on this particular contraption. Dealer could be your only solution. Good luck with it.

I did some investigation today. Look like nothing is bent, but when I open the hood a liitle bit, I can see the the cover opens on one side further then on the other side (it is not parralel to the car). Looks like the opening mechanism are not symetric on both sides. Is it possible to shift the 'block on the rail'a little bit? Or is there an adjustment screw?

Does somebody have a closeup of the rail mechanism?

Thanks, frank
