Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

Discussions that contain suggestions: 1

0 original-poster resolution reports. Counts can overlap; they are not unique people or a success rate.

0 discussions have direct query context; 0 report a fix in that context. Other evidence may inherit the discussion’s subject.

Suggestion
Silcone spray is great I use loads of it on my Hard top (can't remember if it was me who suggested it though).

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.

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

0 evidence records excluded for query context · 0 excluded by outcome qualification · 0 adjusted by outcome qualification.

0 acknowledgements have no verified action link; they do not establish a repair result.

Thanks to the guy who suggested silcone lubricant for the roof, sprayed both roof and rear "hatchback" both now completely squeek free. Some car! Puts a smile on my face everytime i drive it! Just crossing my fingers in case somthing expensive breaks. Super or ordinary UL any opinions tried both cant see much differance? 2002 Black Targa Manual Migration info. Legacy thread was 76220

POST 2Original post

Congrats on the new car, I love all black cars! You have many happy hours ahead of you. Silcone spray is great I use loads of it on my Hard top (can't remember if it was me who suggested it though). Go for Optimax (Vpower) if you can, it is much better for the engine in the long run! Migration info. Legacy thread was 76226

POST 3Original post

Congrats on the new purchase, and welcome to the targa gang! Do stick with super-UL if you can- there are apparently better detergents, engine protection etc as well as a few extra octanes... Robert. Migration info. Legacy thread was 76235

POST 4Original post

Welcome fellow Targa driver. The smile never goes away - I call it Smiletronic and has been fitted as standard to 911s for the last 30 years. Why not get it put through a 111 point inspection and invest in £750 of peace of mind in the form of a warranty? Well worth it even if you only do it this year so you get the fun without the worry.
