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.

3 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Like is says in the title, my top makes squeaking noises when driving over bumps or turning sharply at low speeds. I don't hear anything as I speed up but at low speeds I can feel movement between the top and the windshield header. It seems that the front latch needs to clamp harder but I can't spot any adjustment. Bob

POST 2Original post

I have the same in my boxster...which is why my C2 and all my other cars are coupes....the body of convertibles flex and there is nothing you can do about it. Maybe lubricate it but I would love a solution and haven't found one

POST 3Original post

Same here. I've tried silicone lube on the rubber seals - no help. There is a kit to convert my older lanyard-type rear fasteners to the newer screw-type fastener, but it's $1,000 so I decided to turn up the tunes and keep buying beer.

This is a source reference. Confirm exact model applicability in the original material.
