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.

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

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Hi I have a 2002 C4 Cab, for the winter I have fitted the hard top roof. Practically every time I use the car the most annoying squeeks and creaks eminate from the join with the top of the windscreen. Releasing and then re-engageing the latching lever improves matters. Does anyone else have a Cab which suffers from this? How can I cure it? The OPC in Guildford have looked at it and improved things only for the noise to return. Thanks Peter

POST 2Original post

Reasonably common problem. You'd be well advised to get hold of technical bulletin 7/01 6102 (I think that's the right reference) entitled "Noises in The Hardtop". Neil.

POST 3Original post

We also had that problem - just stop putting the hard top on [ ]
