Good morning all,
I have just become the proud owner of a 996 Targa (my 02)
I need some advice on 2 issues that I have.
Issue 1 - Rear Wiper Spindle Mechanism
Rear Wiper motor works fine, but spindle mechanism (that goes through glass lid), does not turn.
I think it is seized up. I have removed the 13mm nut, wiper arm, C clip and washer, but the spindle mechanism will not come out.
It has been lubricated with some WD40 to deslydge it but no joy, it will not budge, not even a little.
Your advice/tips much appreciated 😊
Issue 2 - Targa roof sticking/stopping.
The sun shade operates with no issues.
Glass roof goes approx half way and then needs some assistance (pushing with my hand) to fully open.
The roof is very very difficult to get back into the clised position. The glass was removed 2 years ago to ge cleaned and re-greased but the problem has returned.
So far I have been advised to open the roof and spray some Isoprpyl Alcohol in the runners to clean them and then to re-grease with some spray silicone grease.
If this doesn't resolve the issue it may need the cables replacing.
Your thoughts and advice greatly appreciated.
Thanks. Simon
