  1. Hi Guys, I can not tell from the pictures how to access the top tension cable connection under the canvas top. The boxster looks like it might be similar to the 996 but really can not tell how to can access. Can anyone send pictures, instructions or information that would help me access the top connection under the canvas top? I certainly would appreciate it. Thank you Tom
  2. Hi Peter, It is the original top (I've purchased the car new in 2002). I have never changed the cables and suspect it is broken and not simply disconnected. However, I am trying to figure out how to access the top of the cable to see what's going on. I downloaded the Group 6 996 exterior manual but can not find how to get at this cable ending. Does anyone have a manual that shows or has anyone had experience checking/fixing it?
  3. OK. I guess I can't post pictures here. Here is a link to what my top looks like when it is closed. http://forums.rennlist.com/rennforums/996-forum/602933-little-problem-with-roof-996-cab.html It looks like his question was the same as mine. Please let me know how I can safely access the top of the tension rope with out damaging the top. Thank you Tom
  4. This is what the top looks like. All the straps seem to be in the right place and basically identical for both sides. As you can see the one side is being pulled in from the strap that goes all the way through to the same place on the other tension rope. I checked the rope at the back and it is secure. I now suspect that the rope has somehow come loose on the top and is causing this slack. Does anyone know how to access the rope connection at the front of the top? I can not figure how to access it and can't find anything on line. Thank you
  5. Hi Maurice, Thanks for getting back to me on this. I checked the straps and everything appears to be identical on both sides. The place where the "gap" is being created has a strap (that stretches) which is the one pulling the tension cord. It goes all the way to the other side and the pressure appears to be about the same on both sides. The one on the drivers side fits down in the groove but the other side does not. That's why I assumed that the cord on the passenger side was loose or something. I found where it is anchored in the back, and it is tight when I pull on it so I don't think it is broken. Any other ideas, I hate to have to take it some place for something that seems pretty simple? Thanks again, Tom
  6. Hi Guys, I'm a newbie to the forum. I searched but can not find a solution to my issue. Yesterday I noticed a small gap on the passenger side top where the tension cable is being pulled towards the middle leaving a small gap. Does anyone know to properly tighten this cable so it will stay in the "groove" where it belongs when the top is up? Thank you
