Convertible Top Problem '97-2000

[mlariche]

Hi!
I am new to the forum and found it while looking for others that have had the problem with the top not being able to retract because the "cover" tweaked with one side up and one down....well I am looking for any or all of you to get in touch with me. It seems this was a problem that could have been avoided if we were warned. I am a weekend driver with low mileage and low use on the top...this just occured on my '98. Needless to say, I am bent, and it looks like between $ 1700-4000 price tag on the repair. It seems this isn't actually a repair but a replacement of all the components that were improved on in 2000.

I'm looking for some support with the hopes of some restitution from Porsche on what should have been a recall, or perhaps a simple post card warning and courtesy exchange of parts so this could have been avoided.

Any insight on this would be appreciated
