    Well I thought I might as well share. I bought my 355 4 years ago and today my luck ran out. The potentiometer has apparently gone south as my top will not close and the drivers seat only moves forward not back. I had four good years as I bought the car from Ferrari of New England and it had just had a major service so I guess I should count my blessings. I am not looking for advice as I have researched the many threads and will look into fixing it myself or if not I will use the emergency button until my next major which I was planning for this winter. I have settled on a every four years due to all the three to five year debates. Anyway just gotta say almost four years without a single issue other than a dead battery is not bad for any car. I think 355's get a bad rap. Here's to needing to fix something for once. :)

    Good to hear your report and especially good that you're not whining about it and going to fix it yourself. There's a thread on fchat recently "don't fear the seat pot" or something like that you may find helpful.

    Wow, almost four years and only a dead battery (aside from the current situation)...that is a good track record, and it could have been worse.
