997.2 Roll Hoops - up
I just got a damaged 2012 997.2 where the airbags are out and the roll hoops are up. I'm trying to find out how to get the hoops "down". I don't have the manual. The only post I could find was to "lower the top as far as it will go, and disconnect the rear of the top from the attachments, then the user manual will tell you the rest". It says it's easy, once you know how. I don't know how. Anyone?
Thanks! |

Wanted to bump this to the top, see if anyone has an idea. I took out the back panel and there's an allen wrench in between the hoops. Must be for lowering them. I don't see any place for it to adjust. Anyone?

The allen wrench is for manual operation of the top. The roll hoops are released by inserting the jack handle (or a screw driver) into the latch about 2/3 of the way down along one side of each hoop and pushing it down while holding the latch released. The latch is a little like the latch on a screen door cylinder. DO NOT get your face or any other breakable part of your body above the hoop while pushing it down!

FBB111, yeah that sounds like the instruction I heard for the 996. I posted on a different forum and got a suggestion that work, and very easy. The little black lever (circled in red) on top gets pushed to the right and then push down on the hoops. And yes, if you let go half way, it pops back up.
Hopefully, this will help other in the future since there is so little on it. Thanks for the input.
