Guys,

With the UK winter looming (rain, rain, some wind, rain, wind, some more rain!!!), I need to think about sealing my targa top as Porky is going to be my daily driver through the winter months (Yes I am turning mad!!).

Is there anyway I can adjust the front latches on the top to pull it down slightly on the quarterlights (tried adjusting these but can't get them to raise any more)

Thanks

I saw a porsche manual on ebay from the factory on how to make all the adjustments to seal the roof. Can youbelieve it went for 130.00... I would have payed the guy 10.00 just for a photocopy !

anyway I don't think this is the answe to oyur question but taking the top trim off the door will show ann adjstment for the side window ipper stop limit ..would this help ?

Thanks Ice,

I've already adjusted all I can, I'm just having problems sealing the front of the roof tighter to the top of the quarterlights.

That manual would have been handy!!!

The little gap above the quarters is a chronic problem w/ the Targa. I just replaced my Targa bar seal and front seal. I did this to eliminate rattling, wind noise, etc. She's tight as a drum now! I noticed that by doing this, it "almost" sealed the quarters. I think the issue stems from the window in it's upright position, slightly extends above the quarters. May some sort of window adjustment can fix it!

actually i have the factory tech manual and how to adjust everything and look for and seal leaks on a targa .. doesnt help much
it realy just tells techs to do a bunch of adjustments before replacing seals ..

My quarter window sits lower too and the main window goes about an eighth higher with a small plastic interface piece that the window hits at the top flexing, i didnt realize it was suppose to be that way and thought mine was adjusted wrong..

Haha!!! Why did the board member ask if any luck then, the other day!
Threw me off, didn't realize it was so old.

I have same exact condition. That's why I think it's a chronic issue for Targa's all seem the same.

The main problem is that the weather is not nice enough to take the top off

true dat ... and thats coming from a guy in Canada that wears a touque instead of putting on a roof

I drove in 20-something degree temps during winter mornings in Dallas, with no top in Ruby. Even did it with no windshield once, home from the paint ship. Had snowflakes that day. I remember being going past some low riders in an old Impala, and got thumbs up.
