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.

When opening and closing door...window drops its normal 1/4 to 1/2 inch (or whatever it is). Problem is it squeaks in both directions when rubbing the window seal. Is there anything I can put on that rubber seal that won't ruin it to make the noise stop?
Actually mine does too, but not from the seals that I treated. After treating the seals some of the total noise did go away which I believe means the remaining squeaks are not seal related.
I think that much of the noise is coming from interior trim pieces moving between themselves and at their attachment points.
Addressing these things is more involved than I want to get with the car and so I just let it make the noise it's gonna make.
For those that still squeak. Did you lube the "rubbing" blocks ~above/behind your head? You can see them when you stop the top in the service position. Mine were so loud at certain temps that I almost couldn't hear my FisterDs.

OK, so you got me wondering and I just had to go out and look at those seals/blocks.
I just applied Pflege to all of the seals again including all I could find on the top. Takes about 10-15 minutes if you're thorough.
I just wish it were as easy to address noises in the dash trim, door panels, etc.
Thanks for the info btw.
I lubbed the rubbing blocks. I have also gone through the many Porsche TSBs on fixing noises in the Cab top and implemented many of them. I still get noises. The roads here are amazingly bad which may account for the racket. I swear there are more metal plates than pavement.
This is a source reference. Confirm exact model applicability in the original material.
