For those 993 cab owners who might have experienced issues with the roof locking mechanism...
I came across this last week.
There's a recall on the 993 roof locking mechanism.
This is a Canadian recall but presumably the mechanism is the same for all nationality cars.
Here's a link to the Transport Canada site but I suspect this affects other countries as well.

386CategoryCarRecall DetailsOn certain vehicles, a crack in the electric roof locking motor's helical gear can result in the catch lever no longer holding the roof firmly to the windscreen frame. If both roof locking motors fail, the softtop could open while the car is in motion. Correction: Dealers will replace both roof locking motors. The new electric motors have a stronger gear mechanism, which locks the roof into the closed position. Also, a new sensor system within the motor assembly provides an improved control signal to the instrument cluster if the roof is not properly closed when the driver drives off.MakeModelModel Year(s) AffectedPORSCHE911 CARRERA1995 1996 1997 1998Manufacturer NameContact NumberWeb SitePORSCHE1-800-767-7243
