Coverage and how to read this overview
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Ok - only had it 3 days so yet to do much top down cruising but I love it !! 2018 car. Powerful, smooth, easy to drive - great tech inside. Roll on spring !!!
Anyone else got one similar ?
It does squeak a bit - I think it has been over cleaned and maybe the rubber seals etc are a bit dry so they squeak - I’m going to try and soften them and grease them up a little to see if that helps.
That looks lovely. Mine’s not a targa, but a tin-top C4GTS I picked up earlier this year. Quite simply the best car I’ve owned, and a real do-it-all vehicle (leaving aside hoofing wardrobes home from IKEA).
Itching to get it up to the Highlands/alps/etc.
I did want a targa but couldn’t find one I liked at the time, and was too impatient to wait.

I had a 2018 Targa 4 GTS for 2.5 years and had no squeaks and rattles in mine at all. Was almost as though it had been made out of of granite. A great car and the best looking of the 991.2 range in my opinion.

Thanks, wow that shin Etsu is pricey - I’ll give it a go - thanks for the advice
I have used this considerably cheaper and very good
Sonax 04990000 Rubber Care Stick
I did some reading up on rubber treatment as the window on our mini was rattling on the rubber trim in the summer and recommendations were Next Zett Gummi Pfledge Stift.
Anyway never got round to ordering but the last couple of days doors have been sticking to rubbers so ordered the Liqui Moly one of Amazon for £4.40

I covered them in felt tape - problem solved.
I also used the Phlegm Gummy Bear
solution to coat every rubber seal, just to make sure!
