I want to get rid of the rattling roof noise ( particularly noisy when the windows are down ).

Has anyone else had the same problem and, if so, how did you overcome it?

Thanks,

Adam

Adam, my solution to the same problem....which was driving me insane!!, was to alter the bracket into which the 'pins' go when you operate the levers in the boot.

Basically, I aimed to get a greater 'pull-down' when the pins were inserted into the tube section of the bracket...thereby pulling the targa harder onto the rubber seal. Trial and error wins the day!

Ideally it wants something like this but I haven't been able to find the right wall thickness and diameter to work:

Thanks very much guys. Get the car back from the garage next week so will get tweaking and hopefully end that irritating rattle!
