Repaired the convertable top on my 987. It was suffering from the dreaded "top doesn't seat fully in the tracks" issue.

Step 1: unscrewed the T-15 nuts on each side holding the tension elastic, moved it over a couple of holes and reattached.

Step 2: the folding guide string had come apart at the crimp. I just tied the two ends together in a square knot, fed through the guide passage in the top with a coat hanger, and reattached.

Step 3: replaced one of the plastic ball joint caps in the pivot arms. My right pivot arm had pulled out of the threads in the cap. You can get these caps on eBay for about $25. Beats ordering whole new arms from Porsche.
