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.

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

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Targa hatch is getting more temperamental and not opening properly. It opens then, locks itself again without getting past the point where it is released completely so you can lift it up. Anyone know how to adjust the mechanism?

POST 2Original post

Hi, I have a similar issue would be interesting if there are any simple fixes like lubing the seals ?

POST 3Original post

i have experienced this previously and found that the hatch catch had moved because the retaining screws had become lose. It was accompanied by a rattle from the rear rather than above. I took the internal rear most trim panel off and did the screws back up (having got the retaining catch back into the right place. Not saying you have the same issue but that was what it was with my targa.

POST 5 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I too shall have a look at that. I've had all the rear carpets out before and pit high density foam in various places to stop rattles. I've also cleaned the drain tubes out while I've been there
