I have had a couple of test drives at dealers and the cars seemed not to squeak at all (although I suspect they put silicon in the joints to temporarily lose the noise).

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

A quick question . . . I know the Targa roof squeaks - but how much? I have had a couple of test drives at dealers and the cars seemed not to squeak at all (although I suspect they put silicon in the joints to temporarily lose the noise). I saw a car today but found the roof relatively noisey (albeit on bumpy roads). So how much do they squeak and do they all do it? Many thanks M Migration info. Legacy thread was 57408

POST 2Original post

993 or 996 ? and mine doesn't or has ever squeaked...... Migration info. Legacy thread was 57412

POST 3Original post

Thats because yours is bolted down for extra rigidity for track days! Mine rattles. Migration info. Legacy thread was 57419

POST 4Original post

aye, that will do it LOL! Migration info. Legacy thread was 57425

POST 5Original post

Mine rattles too but then the state of the roads round here doesn't help. Migration info. Legacy thread was 57440

POST 6 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Its a 996. How much does it rattle though. Is it only on B roads or A roads as well? - M Migration info. Legacy thread was 57442

POST 7Original post

It rattles on all of the pi$$ poor roads in SE London. Difficult to say "how much" it rattles, that is a matter of opinion and how much you perceive to be acceptable. You just get used to it. Migration info. Legacy thread was 57443

POST 8 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Perhaps my question should have been does the rattling get worse or just stay the same. I'm looking at an '02 car and was wondering if it is likely to rattle more in the future or stay similar. Subjective question I know but would appreciate your opinion. Thanks M Migration info. Legacy thread was 57446

POST 9Original post

On mine, some days it's worse than others. Sometimes I even get some movement in the rear hatch. The car makes its own mind up what is going to rattle on any given day - I guess that's what they call character :? Migration info. Legacy thread was 57451
