I have spoken to one of the specialists regarding the PTFE Tape cure, but they say this does not always work and that the most reliable methord is to reseal the windrcreen after removing it.

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.

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

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Morning all I,ve got that awful creaking windscreen problem on my 993. I have spoken to one of the specialists regarding the PTFE Tape cure, but they say this does not always work and that the most reliable methord is to reseal the windrcreen after removing it. Anyone have any experience of this procedure and any idea on cost? They also suggested as a short term fix to spray WD40 or similar between the windscreen cover strip and the window, apparantly this stops the noise until the spray dries out, again anyone tried this? Cheers Migration info. Legacy thread was 31375

POST 2Original post

Morning Ray, I've got a 993 Targa which had a creaky targa roof. I bought a small bottle of Glycerine from Tesco's for approx £1 and used it to lubricate the rubber components of the roof. I don't have any more creaking or squeaking and it appears to make the rubber more supple. I'd try applying the Glycerine under the windscreen seal using a pipette. The glycerine will last for ages.

POST 3Original post

My car had a creaky windscreen and already had the teflon tape fitted, solution was to apply vaseline between the windscreen rubber seal and the bodywork (not screen) = no creaking. Migration info. Legacy thread was 31384

POST 4Original post

I've just bought some 'silicone spray' (safe for rubber-I wouldn't use WD40!)and sprayed it between the bodywork and the seal. Not only has it NOT WORKED, but it's left oily streaks across the roof and doors after driving the car. :roll: Migration info. Legacy thread was 31385

POST 5 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Thanks fellas I'll give your ideas a try Migration info. Legacy thread was 31386

POST 6 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post
