Hardtop 996.

Hi all ,hope u all had a great x-mas.
It snowed here in good old Blighty yesterday so i fitted the hardtop on.
I got the car without the hardtop and bought this one 2nd hand. Checked all seals etc before fitting and were fine. Opened car this morning and both sides ,towards the front were dripping like a siev. Are there any adjustments

or what is wrong. Cheers.

Along the header over the windshield?

My 02 996 was a cab. the easiest way to put the roof on, and it took all of 4 minutes, was to rest the top here the lock close to the windshield with the lock on it unlocked. nw go to the back and with the tool that comes with it, hook it clockwise and lock it in. Do the same to the other side. Then comes the fromt. Windows are down.grab the middled locking mecinizum. Lock it in and that is is. All of 12 mins. Good luck.

The hardtops are adjustable. There's a thread somewhere, maybe Rennlist. I had to adjust the rear pins on mine, and I had purchased it separately from the car as well. Not sure if the front is adjustable, but it would certainly be affected after doing the rear.

Spend some time here and on Rennlist with the Search function. I'm positive it will turn up.

Good luck
