This allowed Porsche to offer a glass-window top without redesigning the entire car. When they had a "clean sheet of paper" to start from for the 981, they developed a substantially different design.

Thanks again for your input. I'll update this post if I find a solution.
Did you find the solution to your top wrinkles? what was the problem?
I have same problems on both sides on my convertible top and I've owned my car for like 5 months and used my convertible top often. Both sides where the wrinkles are and top corner of the back glass the top fabric is frayed and it's getting pretty bad. Worried pretty soon it will wear through.
Here are photos of the top frayed.

Also I found a strap on the left side when I put the top to service mode-not atatched. Any one have any idea where this strap attach to on the convertible top?
