Hi, I checked the roof. I disconnected the pushrods and it's moving clear. don't see any problem there or in the movement of the clamshell. I lubricated everything you said anyway. I'll order a new one and report back. Thanks for your kind help. really appreciate it! :) Thanks Yaron

Hi Maurice, I think that I found the problem (look at the pictures) :) 1. what can cause this? 2. can I get this part alone or do I have to buy the all transmission? 3. Can I find a used trans or to buy the big $ new one? this is the one - http://www.ebay.com/itm/Porsche-986-Transmission-for-Convertible-Top-RIGHT-NEW-GENUINE-Warranty-/370911406991?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&fits=Model%3ABoxster&hash=item565c0aeb8f&vxp=mtr&autorefresh=true? or this used one http://www.ebay.com/itm/00-01-02-03-04-PORSCHE-BOXSTER-CONVERTIBLE-TOP-TRANSMISSION-RIGHT-986-561-180-03-/151141116020?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&hash=item2330b66874&vxp=mtr Thanks Yaron

Crazy! This morning I said to my self, lets give it another try. asked my sun to press the button while I'm helping the clamshell to go up. guess what?! it worked and I opened the clamshell to the "service mode", now it's stuck there. i told my son that he has the "cosmic touch" :) here some more pictures: Today I'll will lubricate everything and release the roof to move it by hand and check if something is on the way. Thanks, Yaron

Ok. when I press "open" I can hear the engine moving for a second and stop. when I press "close" it moves for a second too. sound like something not letting the engine move. Any idea what to do now?

Now I can't even open the clamshell :( I'll try using my son to press the button and I'll try to assist the clamshell to open.

Thanks Maurice :) I'm going to do it and report back. Btw, here it's almost good night :)

Hi, I'm new too here :) Having problem with my roof. I searched the forum and did the basic checks. Relay, hand brake sensor, fuses, windows coming down(sensor fine) Checked all connections and nothing seems broken. The seems to "work hard". stuck on the up, stuck on the way down. not closing till the end. the dash light stays on. here is a link to a video I made: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-xWg8FllE7U A few pics too: my car is a 2000 boxster s, can you help me with some light what to look at?
