My new 944 ... and it's issues

[PSU_Crash]

Regarding the cargo cover, a few thoughts...
The renn forum place has a few threads under the 924/931/944/951/968 heading
Terms cargo cover and spring or repair should find them.
Clark's also has a procedure for fixing the cover.
There seem to be two main areas of failure: bits of the mechanism (fatigue) and broken or tired spring. They work---and fail---in a similar way to roller blinds. If the spring gets tired then pulling slightly on the blind to release the stop for the blind to wind up just leads to more blind being drawn out. I've had some luck getting a stubborn cover to retract during warm weather (and now don't use it). In theory, they're a reasonably simple mechanism but fixing it might need adaptation of other parts, although the end caps are available.

I did see some of that and I read the Clark's how to. It's on the list, just a ways down. Once I have it apart I'm sure it won't be too bad.
