Targa engine service
No, don’t need it yet, but if/when the time comes that it’s necessary to access the engine in my Targa (major service or problem), does the dealer remove the glass dome to access the engine? I noticed the pic below on another thread (thanks to the OP) and it occurred to me that there’s no way to have that kind of access with a Targa. Anyone gone through this yet and know the answer?
Update: traveling outside the country and having trouble posting pics, but I think you get the idea...

I'd love to know how many techs follow the steps he did when changing the oil!

Probably right. I don't do my own wrenching anymore but I sure as well check things out after I get my first (free) service to be sure everything looks the way it should without any damage.

Nice find on the video Sid. Good to know that circus contortionists have a career path after the big top folds....

Can't wait to watch my window tinter in action on the back glass. I guess he can try to do it in the maintenance position vice crawling inside.

My tint guy said it took him 4 hours just to apply tint to the rear glass on my Targa. He had never done one before, and the job turned out perfect. A subsequent Targa tint took him considerably less time.
He has since applied for a job with the circus...

I was thinking about just getting the side windows done to match the rear - any idea of what percent the rear is stock?
