Hello,

New to this site and also to Boxster ownership. Not new to Porsche, though: sold a 1988 911 Supersport a few years ago after 10 years of ownership. Now back again with a less precious, but possibly more useable car.

Anyway: wish to buy a Porsche roof for my 986 and many that I see have paint damage to the front corners. Anyone know a bit more about this? Particularly keen to know the such cause and cure: ie can corrosion be eradicated prior to refinishing the roof or is the damage structural: roofs weakened by corrosion in this way best avoided? Thanks.
