Default Targa squeak.

I put some spray silicone along the edges, and it helped a lot. Does anyone have any other tips to quit the squeaks?

The squeaks seem to all come from where the top meets up with the ridged parts.

On my previous targas, I agree, with both above posts. Jelly (Vaseline) on rubbers and silicone spray (WD40)on metal contacts. If still bad you need the garage to tighten up the various fittings.

BTW rattles and squeaks change depending on weather and temperature, don't they...

My targa is tight and does not rattle or squeak in normal use. However, you do hear a creak every once in a while when you do something that makes the body flex a lot, like crawling over an especially high speed speed bump.

Maybe a strut tower brace would help?
