Well, i purchased a new to me top for my boxster recently...i finally had the time to install it and all went VERY well. Its on the car and looks like it should work perfectly....i pushed the top up button and it moved very smooth and lined up perfectly-like the old top. But- now when i hit the top down button, it doesnt move and makes a horrible gear stripping sound (so i dont push the button). Its as if its jammed in the up position and cant go down.
I took it to my Porsche mechanic and he said he doesnt deal with the soft tops...said he's "lost a lot of money for the business in trying to get them to work". So, he gave me a local convertible shop to go to. I went and they quoted me over 1k to get it working correctly!? All parts are in and work perfectly, so 1k in labor sounds CRAZY! I had them take out the rods, so i could use the top manually, until i can figure out what to do to get it working correctly. Any input? Im a wrencher...can i do it myself? Is it just me or is 1k redic.?
