Hello To All Porcha Owners.
I have recently bought myself a porche boxster convertible. However I have the roof not going up or down. Upon close inspection It look someone has disconnected all rods the the roof mechanism. I had to dig in somehow and avoid possible high expense. So I removed both side mechanism, checked and lubricate as appropriate. Then I came with an idea of manually testing them - to attach a drill to the top of the cable and turn it slowly , presto both side moves freely now.
Connected back all with cables attached to motor. Motor makes sound but no movement. I tried pressing one side of the cable against the motor and I could see one side moving. What has happened there. Does the cable need replacing or the motor. Please help as appropriate. Many thanks all.
