Convertible top will not close


Recommended Posts

Hi all,

My 2003 996 cabrio has the following intermittent problem:

When I try to close the top via the dashboard switch, the roof cover opens but then the process stops - the top does not start moving up/forward. This happens every now and then, and usually if I open the top and close it again it works.

Other than that the roof is working fine - no noises, not struggling at all etc.

I assume the problem is with some kind of sensor that tells the car that roof cover is fully open, but I cannot find where that sensor is to check if it working properly.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Michael
