Covertible Top Loud When Opening and Closing

[Padawan]

Mine is rather loud (quite a bit louder than our 996 Carrera), but the top works perfectly. I don't think you have cause for concern.

Yeah, my 01's top mechanism seems pretty loud too, but always works fine. I'd describe it as a groan when lowering or raising top, but no other issues. I've noticed that the top mechanism on my buddies' 987 is very quiet. Maybe they switched suppliers.
