Creaks & Squeaks from the roof

[shortlad]

As you've probably guessed I'm a new owner with one hell of a lot of questions

I get a lot of creaks and squeaks from the roof panel.... Is there anything I can do about this?

Also I get creaks from the suspension. I know the car is a stiff low profile tyred car but just wondered if this is 'typical'.

It's a 2000 car.

has he car been usedalot? or not much, the sqeeking of suspension could be down to lack of use?

And at first our roof creeked around, still does nown and again.

Hi, putting a velcro strip along the back edge of the roof cavity will help with the creaks, and a suitable lubricant, phnarr phnarr, around the rubber strip will help eliminate rear window squeak. Both are quite normal, well for a Tuscan.
Good luck

Thanks for the advice Will try thhos fixes. Do You mean putting both sides of the velco on or just the fluffy bit?

Only got it on Wednesday so not had a chance to get the roof off as I know I'll get no squeaks then

stick/run the fluffy side along the outside top of the screen where it fits into the roof slot. This will stop the creaking.

Or try a smear of vasaline on the seals. Seriously, it works on door and roof seals.
