Yes, but there are tons of worriers with 986s and 996s.  I just drive mine and know that until I get to the clutch, RMS and install my IMS solution it may go boom.  My car likely has the dual row, but you can't never be certain.

914 vs 986, how are your welding skills?

I have had to do extensive welding on a 986 after the convertible top mechanism broke (again) and mangled the heck out of the rear inner fenders.

I like to think that the Cayman was Porsche's fix for the Boxster top problems.

There is one motor that controls the whole thing, and it works through two large speedometer cable looking devices coming from each end of the motor.  Elegant, simple, and flawed.  WHEN one of the cables breaks, the other one now gets full torque from the electric motor, and all sorts of bad things happen to the top and the parts of the body where the top attaches.

I think welding skills are much more commonly needed with the 914
