Thanks Randall,
It never occurred to me to explain the ins and outs of actually doing the inspection. Duh.
Also, you are correct, there is debate regarding whether or not the steel rod ends are a good idea. Porsche may have designed them specifically to fail first to prevent more extensive (read: expensive) damage. I can tell you that it didn't work in my car. The plastic ends broke, but so did everything else.
HIFI,
So you know, my top failure was not a malfunction of the car; it was a malfunction of my Brother-in-Law. While I'm confident I've never heard the truth about what happened, the long and short of it is that my wife allowed said Brother-in-Law and his idiot friend to drive the car. I think they tricked the emergency brake micro-switch and attempted to operate the top, at speed. Whatever really happened I'll probably never know. What I do know is that it was not pretty.
