I have noticed some creaking coming from the rear targa top area when I drive. I lifted up on all four corners of the top and the right rear is loose. Even when the top is latched, I can lift it up a bit. That is probably my issue, but what is the fix?

You can also slide a short length of plastic or rubber hose onto the prong on the targa top's receiver for the latch. One of mine came with about a 1/4" long plastic hose section and I got the creaking. The targa top latch part was fine so I later replaced the "hook" part on with a set of Bruce Stone's rebuilds. My "hook" part was slightly bent and worn.

Nothing more annoying on a long road trip than hearing the squeak (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) Another temp fix I learned here is to place some paper, dollar bill, etc under it. Works in a pinch, pun intended. |
