Porsche Convertible Top Repair

If your Porsche convertible top isn't opening or closing, but the metal compartment lid still moves, then this is your fix. This problem is common on all Porsche convertible tops made between 1997 and 2012.

Parts

  • Replacement ball joints. Porsche doesn't sell the ball joint, so there is no part number, but you can buy an OEM replacement from Gary here or here
  • Porsche only sells the entire assembly. For the 986, this is Part # 986-561-279-02
  • The rubber bushing on the 986 is Part # 986-561-881-00

  12. Please everyone should be careful and stop being deceived by all these brokers and account managers, they scammed me over $500,000 of my investment capital, they kept on requesting for extra funds before a withdrawal request can be accepted and processed, in the end, I lost all my money. All efforts to reach out to their customer support desk had declined, I found it very hard to move on. God so kind I followed a broadcast that teaches on how scammed victims can recover their fund, I contacted the Email: (contact@wizardcharlesgrouphackers.com) provided for consultation, I got feedback after some hours and I was asked to provide all legal details concerning my investment, I did exactly what they instructed me to do without delay, to my greatest surprise I was able to recover my money back including my profit which my capital generated. I said I will not hold this to myself but share it to the public so that all scammed victims can get their funds back chat Them on WhatsApp (+1 (519) 398-1460)
