All Teeners,
Focusing on the things that bug me. When driving down a bumpy road (which is every road in the Boston area) the top makes a great deal of noise on top of the sail. I have all new 914Rubber front and back and all over the car BTW. I have tightened the latches as tight as I dare. Both doors are tight and fit well. I also have added Brad Meyers tub stiffness: https://914ltd.com/product/porsche-914-chas...-repair-panels/ Perhaps a few thoughts as to how to test for body flex longitudinal? Might this be the culprit, twisting??? Thank you, CTC911CTC |

QUOTE(jim_hoyland @ Apr 25 2020, 03:13 AM)  Jim 914rubber sell a basic rear roof seal and an improved version which has a fluffy coating on it (for want of a better word ?) Mark mentions it on the website,I see one of these for my car in the future,with the clamping of the latches and the movement of the roof and the car flexing they just wear out. I'am going to fit a set of Bruces rebuild rear latches to hopefully pull the top down a little more but in reality its a bandage for a broken leg,this seal needs to be in good condition or replaced. |
