steerforth · 03-14-2016, 07:12 PM

Hi guys, I just bought a 2008 Boxster, and I noticed an issue with the soft top when it is closed. It looks like the soft top is not closing right, although it still appears to be water-proof.

Here is what it looks like when my top closes, notice how there is some overlap on the seam.

If I use my finger to guide the soft-top as it closes, I can get a more neat looking seam, shown here. I imagine this is what it is supposed to look like.

So my questions are:

1. Is there a problem with my roof?
2. What is the problem?
3. Any idea how hard this will be to fix?
