993 targa roof squeak fix

In the Porsche workshop manual it says to use talc powder or glycerine on the rubber seals.

My targa roof had the odd creak when shut and open so I decided to buy some Glycerine from Tesco's pharmacy (you use it to help soothe a sore throat or chapped skin) and apply to the runners of the targa roof using a small pipette.

Had a drive around Oxfordshire at the weekend with roof open and shut and not one squeak from the roof.

Cost of the Glycerine, under £2 and only used a quarter of the bottle.

I wouldn't be too concerned if this is going to damage your rubber seal because Zymol devotees may be using the Seal product which uses Glyercine as the major constituent.

Hope this helps

John
