Hi Spyder friends,
Now have the feedback from the PC, it goes back to the cracked top Finns on the inside, which may seem so harmless to some, unfortunately, according to Porsche, is a big flaw, which in the worst case can be tear half the top (this has been given to me Said). The PC has sent image to Stuttgart and the answer is very sobering, the half top is supposed to be renewed according to Porsche. Details on this will be found on Friday. It's not like the sattler just comes by and puts a patch on the spot. The measure is supposed to take over 1 week and I get a free car, but funny is that it's not my home pz and car is always such a story. The release came directly from Porsche. There is no experience here, and I am afraid to be the first. So my request, look at your spyder finns. I know at least 5 cases where it looks like it.
Many greetings
Torsten
