993 Targa sliding roof jammed
Hello everyone,
I have a 1996 993 Targa and the retractable glass roof has locked on the rear right hand side looking from behind. From what I have found out the drive cable (s ) have jammed and so I am after any information on the process on how to replace them. I do have a very good description on the working parts from a 2009 posting on the net. The local Porsche dealer wants to replace the whole cassette @ $25,000 AUS dollars. That's not happening  I live in a remote area of Western Australia so any assistance would be very much appreciated. Cheers |

Hi RagingBull,
Many thanks for the links, that is the info I have been looking for. The first link is not opening but I believe it contains the info I already have. It has been a 2 year saga to get to this point ... info plus finding a mechanic prepared to help so here goes. Cheers |

Yes the first link is a very good one showing the workings of the roof mechanism. It might be the one you already have and is partly shown here:
https://www.scribd.com/mobile/document/170337411/993-Targa-Roof-Operation-Outline It can be done. It's a very beautiful and elegant car. Good luck. |

Thank you for the follow up, the info in your second post is definitely what I already have.
I have owned the car for 10 years and still get buzz every time I go for a spin. Absolutely ageless style. Will let you know how I get on, be about 8 weeks. Cheers |

Hi Raging Bull, Many thanks for the links the roof is all fixed.The right hand side drive cable had seized ( drain hole blocked ).
Stripped out all the workings and fitted a new cable kit and it is working like new. Took around 20 hours for 2 guys, very happy 😀😀😀. Cheers |

Myself and a mechanic mate did the repaire with virtually no info on how to do it.
Have a chat with your local Porsche dealer to find out how complex the workings are !!!! |
