On the "new to us" Boxster... 03 with glass window...
Top functions as it should EXCEPT it won't fully go down. It retracts and the clamshell goes down but winds up leaving a small (1/4 to 1/2 inch perhaps?) gap between the back of the clamshell and the rear decklid. The warning light on the dash DOES turn off, indicating the car thinks it's fully stowed.
Pictures attached below that try to illustrate the nature of the problem.
I can't find anything wrong with it. I took it by my shop and after a day they said they don't know what's wrong with it either. It's nothing mechanical, and no physical interference can be found.
It's got the subwoofer, but that doesn't appear to be the problem. We even removed it and the carpet just to check, and the result is the same.
If I push down with quite some force before the assembly stops moving I can get it to seat, but only just.
Has anyone run into this? Is there some sort of adjustment that can be made?
