    I have exactly the same problem on a '99 996 Cabriolet. Any ideas from anyone in the forum? I did open the latch unit but I can't figure out the order of the relays to figure out if one of them is not working or ifs something that needs adjustment.

    It's been over a year now and I'm still standing behind this tiny investment. I did take it in and had it tested and on my '99 996 Cab my HP went from 290 hp at the wheel to 302 hp. Not a big difference but when combined with high performance tires, suspension, and other little improvements, you are a little closer to a 997 :-) No complaints, no warning lights!

    This was a great mod with minimal investment. For those who do not see the gray and pink wire, keep looking, it's there. Now my next fix is the fact that my top sometimes does not want to latch and keeps trying indefinitely as long as the button is pressed. We'll see what a search can bring up about this subject. Regards, Rio

    I also take my '99 996 Cab to Jiffy Lube, but I bring my oil and filter. I'm friends with the manager, so I get to supervise the process. I use 5w40 though.

    I just installed the 57-7000 Kit on my '99 996 Cabriolet and it's noisier, but acceleration is smooth. The HP claim by K&N is actually documented in the peperwork included in the kit itself. It is a Dynojet Research graph which shows a 23.8 HP difference at 5500RPM. What I found interesting about the graph is that with the stock intake the Carrera hp goes up and back down between 5500 and 5900 RPMs. With the K&N Kit it's actually a smoother increase of HP through the RPM range. I'll report back in a couple of days. This is the link to the Kit http://www.knfilters.com/search/product.aspx?Prod=57-7000

    Just in case you have not resolved this issue... My 1999 C2 did a similar thing and it turned out to be a lack of lubrication on the lift mechanism (sides, not the motor). After lubricating it worked perfectly.
