Hi,

Having problems with my 2003 Boxster Roof. I Replaced the left cable (Drivers side US), All went fine but the lid was sitting up slightly in the fully closed position. I tried to re-synchronise the roof but now in the fully closed position the motor runs on too much and pops the slider arm off its ball joint. Has anyone come across this issue?

Hi. Did you figure out how to sync the B-version transmission? I'm curious how it is calibrated as the top open and top closed microswitches are relocated to inside of the left transmission.

There is a method for re-synchronizing the transmissions spelled out in the factory manual. It involves spinning the V-levers until a set distance is obtained from the center of one of the steel balls on the V-lever to a point on on the (bottom?) edge of the gasket that goes around the inner quarter panel lip, IIRC.

BTW, there are no microswitches in the left transmission. After mid 1999, the former "B-pillar microswitc" was moved to the passenger side (right side) transmission.
