Hi, I'm a first time Targa owner and have a question about the top closing.

When the fabric side of top comes down towards the windshield frame it seems to move at an expected cadence, and then maybe 3 inches from the windshield it seems to "fall" to the top frame with a thud before the final lock mechanism closes. Is this process normal?

Thanks in advance for your help!

My wife has mine right now...when she gets home from work I will go check...Happy Friday...

Well...she just got home...closed the top...and yes, mine functions exactly as you described. Not sure if it is normal, but mine is a 2018...so, I would guess that is the way it is supposed to operate.

2014 here, exactly how mine operates. A little inelegant but what can ya do.

I've been wanting to post this Targa picture for weeks. Here might be a good spot for you Targe lovers! One of our local PCA members concours cars. A one family car with over 100,000 miles. Current owner's father took delivery in the early 70's in Stuttgart. I sure hope your 991 targa tops hold up this well in +40 years. I think the 991 Targa is one of the best looking 991s.
