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 |

Mine also squeaks too much. If I put a scrap of polishing towel between the roof and the top of the sail panel, sometimes its quiet, but then I have trouble unlatching the clamp on that side. I think its too tight and I need to press down on the roof to take the pressure off it. I have the new rubber seals on it. I was thinking maybe I need to shim the rubber seal in that area.
