jay04v6's post in 2003 Targa roof squeeking and slow to open was marked as the answer
HI All- i utilized the krytox on the rails, eliminated all squeeks and rattles. I went deeper thought and removed the back panel (inside) and the 2 panels that contain the gearing for the roof. lubricating them with white lithium grease also sped the roof closure. it seems though that the motors are still working pretty hard against the mechanisms that are pushing forward and pulling rearward the sliding roof. i ran out of time and closed it up, but my gut feel is that the next step will be to remove the cover holding the gears, and i should have visibility to what the gearing is pulling/pushing, and be able to hit that with the krytox or the grease. i am going to take pics and document for all 996 and 997 targa owners to have (not too many of us). should accomplish in the next month or so....stand by! Thanks for the responses
Also- due to all the direction on this site, and Streathers essential companion, i changed the oil and filter, air filter and cabin filter- all without drama or problems...a great weekend.
