• Covers the designated area within the folding roof assembly
• Moves with the surrounding hood mechanism
• Replaces an aged, torn or misshapen original cloth component
• Helps retain the factory layout of the roofliner assembly

Symptoms of Fault

• Frayed edges, tears or surface abrasion
• Loose, stretched or sagging material
• Cloth that no longer follows the roof mechanism correctly
• Uneven positioning with the hood raised or lowered
• Contact damage caused by worn, displaced or incorrectly adjusted roof parts
• General deterioration resulting from age, folding cycles and environmental exposure
  
  

Why Replacement Matters

A damaged cloth cover can affect the presentation and orderly movement of the roofliner components. Renewal allows the original arrangement to be restored while providing an opportunity to inspect the adjacent tension rope, roof frame, slides, clamping pieces and fixings. Any misalignment, sharp contact point or excessive tension should be corrected before the replacement cloth is installed to reduce the chance of repeated damage.

FAQs

• Is this a complete convertible hood?
  No. This part is the individual cloth component shown within the convertible top covering and roofliner assembly.
• Are the roof frame and tension rope supplied?
  No. They are separate components in the exploded roof assembly and are not identified as part number 98656108500.
• How should compatibility be checked?
  Compare the part number with the existing component and confirm suitability using the vehicle model, production year, roof specification and VIN where required.
• Does fitting require roof adjustment?
  The cloth must be positioned correctly within the folding mechanism. Inspection and adjustment by a technician familiar with the Porsche 986 convertible roof may be appropriate.
