I own a 1997 boxster with about 28000 miles ,just had my transmission(convertible transmission) updated with the new system.Cables,drive arms,time top. Still the top doesn't close properly.Mounting points for transmission on vehicle sheet metal keep bending causing drive arms to rub lightly on transmission drive arms. I have been told to got to a bod yshop to get mounting areas reinforce.ANYONE WITH SOME IDEAS? look's like the arms are not strong enough.THANKS FOR YOUR RESPONSE
