Crack goes the top

[rbsboxster]

I'm a new member. over memorial day weekend, my top stopped working with one side up a foot higher than the other (the back bow was flexed), causing me great panic. Fortunately, I was only a mile from a local dealer...unfortunately, it was not my local dealer as i was away for the weekend.

the prognosis was i needed new motors on each side as well as a new cable...total damage was over $1,500. i feel like i got ripped off, but i just don't know. Car is 1997, so i understand that there is a design flaw that does not prevent one motor from working when the other is not working, causing the flex in the top.

Has anyone experienced both motors going at the same time. The dealer was really helpful and fixed the top immediately, so i am really wondering.
