Compare Porsche convertible roof repair quotes from specialist garages

Porsche is known for its high-performance luxury sports vehicles - the best-selling model being the Cayenne. The company's founder, Ferdinand Porsche, created the world's first hybrid vehicle in 1899. It was called the Lohner-Porsche and was driven by electricity with a fuel-powered generator to charge the batteries, though it never made it into production.

Porsche continues to break new ground to this day; in 2017, the Cayenne S Diesel model earned the Guinness World Record for towing the heaviest vehicle, pulling an enormous Airbus A380 aeroplane weighing 285 tonnes.

The most common problems drivers experience with convertible car roofs are leaks and failure of the roof to go up or down.

Leaks occur because the roof seals perish over time, allowing water to get in, which can damage internal components. This issue can be resolved by booking a car roof leak repair.

If the roof doesn't go up or down, this may be due to a bad lift cylinder, fuse or relay. A faulty lift cylinder can also cause the roof to move more slowly than it should. In this case, you'll need to book a convertible top mechanism repair.

A badly damaged soft top may be beyond repair, so you'll need to arrange a replacement. Fortunately, plenty of convertible roof specialists can help get your car back in working order. A convertible roof repair is usually quick, although it gets more complicated when components need to be replaced.
