So.... after placing the targa top in the truck for the first time, I drove the car for 10-15 miles. When I later went to take the top back out I noticed the the trunk lid had actually rubbed on the top of the targa top. Is the clearance that tight? Could I have clamped it in incorrectly? Seemed fairly straightforward but was surprised that I had effectively zero clearance. Only minor rubbing damage but don't want to see that happen again. What did I do wrong?

Old thread with some good info.
When I bought my 914, the top had been rubbed bad enough over time it wore away the gel coating where the rear trunk rib rubbed. I picked up another top from @914Werke and now don't want the same thing to happen again. I also have all new top storage hardware and can tell, the trunk lid rubs or pushed down on the top very slightly. I'm using a towel for now. Anyone have any tricks to solve this rubbing? Older picture when I started assembly after paint. Everything is new and I don't see any adjustment for the front clips unless holes are elongated. Attached image(s) |
