Ultimate Targa Thread!

[FLYONWALL9]

Thanks gents

I always liked cold weather, could CT stand for a REAL southern gent with
a twang in his voice? Oh wait, you don't/cant drive your car year round can
you? I'm stayin down south...

I used water repellant on my carbrella as we never know when there will be a summer storm pop up here in the midwest but as a rule Storage Man hit the nail on the head..

As far as leaks one plece to definitely check is at the top edge of the doors where the rear targa seal meets the door seal, the rear targa seal has a tube in it that hooks to the bottom seal and runs the water down and out, if that isnt mated properly the water goes onto the rear floor . I siliconed mine in as sometimes the passenger would dislodge it (or the seat belt would pop it out) Since I secured it I have had no issues..

NOW, this is something I did not know!

I have had the rear targa seal out several times along with the interior
panels and have not seen or noticed any drain... Would you happen to
have a photo of this and where it should be located? I know for sure the
leak in the car is from the rear of the targa top and hoped to find something
before I silicone glued down the rear seal to the targa bar and jointed its
two ends to the side seals.

Sorry this takes away from the fun of all the great photo's. Surely someone
other than me will gain from knowing these things.

Thanks,
Scott

fantastic and exactly how I hope mine will look some day. I wasn't
sure about the duck tail but am now! I have been thinking about a
center exhaust sense owning mine now 4 years and seeing it done,
it looks brilliant. Right down the stance of the car. Please share your
stats on EVERYTHING If it is simply too much to share here please
PM me.

THIS THING IS PERFECTION!

Couple of quick shots of the area that leaks when not connected, I discovered it after washing my car..I opened the passenger door and was met with a stream of water! it at about Tw0o oclock from the trim screw, where the two seals meet, my pics show it properly positioned

Here is a better shot, there is a bit of a "nozzle" that goes from the door seal into the targa seal

[redridge]

Nozzle? pretty sure that goes in on top of the door seals... it marries the 2 seals (front targa bar seal and door seal) together.

[machete]

WTB a Chrome or Gold colored 9 7/8" Carrera emblem?

[Ayles]

I don't understand the use of nozzle in this context... However, I think the targa seal and door seal are joined by adhesive. I don't recall there being a mechanical connection between the two. I have both seals new sitting in my basement if you need a photo.

[964TargaC2]

By nozzle I meant a "teat" or ...ahem..male protrusion..... that fits one seal into the other,

New picture of my Targa on my first 1000km trip in Germany this weekend. New tires, winding roads, beautiful weather and no traffic!

I've had this car a few weeks, put on about 1500 miles. In heaven.
