Convertible Top Problem
BoxsterPaul replied to jporter's topic in 986 Boxster Convertible Top Issues and Solutions
Guys, Its been great to read about the convertible top issues. My problem was that only driver side would raise and lower. In reply to the four screws being loose, I found this also to be true. So I took the worm gear housing apart. Because I was not getting any spin from the main gear, yet I knew the motor was working. Thanks to your guys input( and pictures) I found that my cable was short?? How could this be.. ?? What happened...... I noticed that the carriage (white plastic) that holds the worm gear in the tansmission housing, the far end from the cable, was broken from its backing, so that the worm gear could actually move a very little bit, in the housing thus shortening the cable. So the question is do I need to buy a whole new housing or can I purchase particular parts ? BTW its a 1998...which I read somewhere the dealers don't look at any more, or want to replace the whole thing ?? Thanks again BoxsterPaul.
