Talking How to Sync my Convertible Top?

Hello guys!

I have a 1997 Boxster. I recently had it painted and the canvass top removed and the plastic window replaced by my local upholstery shop. All was okay but when the top was reinstalled by the shop several problems had occured. These are:

1. The Top Light at the gauge cluster still remains lit whether fully closed or fully opened.
2. The Sensors in the latch are I think okay because when I open the lid atop the windshield, the windows roll 3-4 inches down as what I have read from previous posts here.
3. The edge of the canvass does not fall inside the guide channel on the right side just before the top closes.
4. A loud banging sound is heard at the read area of the cables (sometimes left, sometimes right side) just after the top closes.


Obviously the shop people are not pro's when dealing with convertible tops and might be way out of sync. Now I just want to sync everything properly right from the start just to be sure everything is in order.

Can anyone please give me a guide on how to completely sync my convertible top to make it function 100% properly. A guide with pics is the best since I am really new at this and I am not familiar with part names, descriptions etc.

I know this is the best place to get the infos I need as my friend suggested. Kindly consider my request. This would help me a lot and also a valuable read for a lot of forumers here with the 986.

I am hoping for your kind consideration on my request.

Thank you for your support guys!
