Hi,

The top cover (the plate near the engine that covers the top when it is open) of my 997 S '05 had some closing problems. At one side the cover did not close as nice as on the other side (too high).

I did some investigation today and after removing the cover, lifting the rear window and taking away the ''protection'' at the rear (the interior piece that covers the mechanism and electronics in the rear). This showed a good view on the cover mechanism. It is actually a 'kart'on a rail which moves the levers. I noticed that at the side (with the bad closing) the kart did not move to the end of the rail

(as it does on the good side). Therefore the closing mechanism is not locked completely. If the kart would move to the end of the rail that the lock would be fully in place and the cover would close as it should have.

I know this is a terrible describtion. I wanted to make some pics but the camera is lost womewhere. Does anybody know what moves the 'kart'(cable or something else). Can I adjust the position of the cart on the rails (by opening the cart of with a PIWIS)?

Thanks a lot in advance.

Frank
