November 2013


In each of these pictures you can see that the back edge of the drivers side touches the roof (where there is now a cut in the seam)


September 2014


In all the picture you can see the scuff (on both rear quarters) reported to Porsche which is created by the roof rubbing on itself when in the folded position. Normal fold marks are also evident (and to be expected).

In the second photo you can see that the back edge of the drivers side touches the roof (where there is now a cut in the seam).

In the third photo you can see that the window does NOT reach the edge of the roof and sits upon the window rubber as it should (there is a visible gap compared to the drivers side window).


December 2014


In the left photo (drivers side) you can see that the back edge of the drivers side window touches the roof, the passenger side on photo two shows normally as it should.

Picture one shows the cut made by the drivers window rubbing against the roof seam due to the window being misaligned (from manufacture see above). It shows how far backwards the window is too.

Picture two shows the roof scuff on one side that were created from early on in the cars life (and reported to Porsche) on the rear quarter, picture three shows the marks/scuffs underneath the rear window.

The fourth picture shows the drivers window too far backwards too.

Picture five shows the roof scuffs from the passenger side.

The sixth picture shows the passenger window as it should be (normal distance from window to roof seam and sitting on the door/window rubber properly.

August 2018 drivers window


The first picture shows the drivers window on the 16th August 2018 (4 days after the car was delivered back to me). The window rubber is clearly seen, as is the gap between the window and roof which is the gap it should have (and the passenger side also shows too).

The second photo shows the driver’s window too far back, this was taken 2 days later on the 18th August 2018.


August 2018 roof latch cover


Also the latch cover inside the car was loose, I have pushed this back into place (there are two tabs and corresponding holes at the front f the dome/roof).
