These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

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.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Is it much slower than while it opening? I just see one targa in the showroom for sale,the glass roof is move very slow while its closing. Is tat normal or its broken? The saleman said it is normal speed for the targa roof.!

POST 2Original post

It is slower closing than it is opening, especially if the car is not running.

POST 4 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I am looking forthe 996 taga for daily use,i live in bangkok thailand,hot summer all year long. But glass roof is not a problem for me in this hot wrather. I love the sun light through the targa roof. But is itany problem i should consider before i buy one?

POST 5Original post

I love my targa. Best of both world in my opinion. The roof is complicated and requires maintenance,but it's nothing you can't handle. The main thing is to make sure the tracks stay lubed. The top drains down the same path as the tracks for the top. I spend a little time with a Q-tip and just make sure it stays lubricated. I only have to do this at every oil change interval. I use the top all the time I open/close it 2-3 time a day,I think that also helps it from becoming atrophied.

POST 6 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Usefull advise! If i can maage to nuy one ,i will ask you a lot more,if u dont mind.

POST 7Original post

Anytime. If you do a search on here, there are a few threads regarding the top and it's operation.

POST 8Original post

Love my '03 Targa as well, but i don't open the top much. I need to heed the good advice and lubricate the tracks regularly... -LB
