Convertible Top Drive Cable. Porsche 993 Cabriolet.
Restore the reliable motion of your Porsche 993 Cabriolet’s

consistent performance over time.

VIN Range: From # 996TS341001
Diagram Ref No 11 and 11a
What This Product Does:
• The convertible top drive cable connects the electric
motor and transmission units to each side of the soft-top frame, synchronising
movement and ensuring both sides of the roof open and close evenly.
• It transmits torque from the roof motor drive to the gear mechanisms in each
roof hinge, allowing precise folding, latching, and sealing of the Cabriolet
top.
• A well-fitted cable ensures balanced drive force distribution, quiet
operation, and smooth folding motion of the 993’s iconic soft-top system.
Symptoms & Signs Of Wear / When To Replace:
• Uneven or jerky roof operation — one side of the top may
rise or lower faster than the other.
• Audible clicking, slipping, or grinding noises from within the roof drive
system.
• Roof fails to close fully, stops midway, or triggers warning lights due to
cable tension loss.
• Frayed, stretched, or snapped cable ends found during inspection of the
convertible drive assembly.
• If the soft-top motor or drive gears have been replaced, always inspect and
replace old cables to maintain alignment and performance.
Why Replacement Matters:
• Restores smooth and balanced roof motion: A worn or
broken drive cable can cause misalignment between left and right sides, risking
frame twist or soft-top fabric damage.
• Prevents costly motor or gearbox damage: A binding or stretched cable
can overload the roof motor or strip internal gears — timely replacement
prevents cascading failures.
• Long-term reliability: High-grade cable replacements are built to
withstand the repeated stress and torsion of roof cycles, ensuring dependable
operation for years.
• Ideal for preventative maintenance: If your Porsche 993 roof operation
has slowed or become noisy, replacing the cables ensures future reliability
without major teardown later.
Upgrade or restore your Porsche 993 Cabriolet convertible top drive system with premium replacement drive cables. These precision-built components ensure proper soft-top synchronisation and smooth roof movement, solving common issues like uneven operation, sticking, or incomplete closure. Over time, the original drive cables can stretch, corrode, or snap due to years of torsional stress and lack of lubrication.
By fitting new high-specification drive cables from Design911, you’ll restore perfect alignment, prevent roof motor strain, and eliminate jerky motion. Ideal for Porsche 911 993 Cabriolet owners performing roof repairs, drive motor replacement, or full soft-top restoration.
