Default MK4 Targa/Sport roof rattle squeak noises

Hi,

Just got a Targa TT. The roof squeaks and creaks when ALOT. Not just on inclines/decline slopes but over bumps. Sounds like the car is twisting and turning even at slow speeds.

I checked the bolts and hand tightened them using an allen key L shaped tool. Couldnt get much leverage with long side in hole to get to the bolt so just hand tightened.

Rattle noises a bit better but still very noticeable.

Are there torque specs to the bolts? Dont want to strip the threads.

Any other tricks? On s2000's owners use light grease to lub the connecting contact surfaces.

Thank you.

You'll have to disassemble the targa using the shop manual (TSRM):

NB: Please consider posting any help requests in a new thread instead of asking me for help privately. About 99.9+% of the time, private help requests end up covering great information that could be very valuable to other forum members. If you have a good reason for needing the help request to be private, I'll consider it. If not, then why not give everyone else the opportunity to pitch in too, and/or learn from the information? Remember, there's no such thing as a dumb question. We're all here to help within this family of Supra owners.
