Targa Top Question
The targa top latch has two hooks which grasp the top of the windscreen. When I turn the top handles, it appears that only one hook of the two is controlled by the handle when I turn it to the left to close. However, when I turn the handle to the right both hooks open slightly wider. Is this normal functioning or are both of my top latches faulty?
Much appreciate any help out there,
John

I own a cab not a targa but I think it's the same on both cars. the left handle controls the left latch and the right handle controls the right latch. Do you have two handles? My manual cab has two handles, one for each side.

I have a targa and mine operates as yours does. I think one of the two latches acts as a safety not unllike the hood. When you turn the handles it will pop but you need to go that little extra to release the spring catch to allow it to come out.
I think it is perfectly normal.

Was that you Mat ? I remember last year some guy commenting it came flying out at speed ... I just couldn't remember who it was ? besides the obvious danger, these things are real expensive to fix.
