Are Spyders Becoming Extinct At OPCs!

ORIGINAL: philnotts99 Hello all... Hope all is well in the Spyder world. I seem to have attracted a very loud squeak on the driver and passenger side windows when they go up. Any fixes?!? Cheers Phil
Is this with hood/rag top up or down?

I had similar on my drivers window - I think it's the rubber seal drying out so needs a bit of lube on it. My OPC did mine but for several weeks after I had a smeary bit of glass whenever the window was put up or down.

Take it back to OPC Nottingham and when you go in, ask them to send me my cheque for the fookin road fund licence they still owe me... It has done that from when very young - it's a lack of use thing.

flawed review :) they state "on this particular car – a new sports chassis that’s 20mm lower than the standard set-up" but most mags did a review on the Sports chassis back in 2012 on the 981 !!!!! and quoted "Those stiffer springs mean the Sports Chassis-equipped car has a tendency to get knocked off line earlier and you need to take a firmer grip of the steering wheel. It’s not particularly uncomfortable" "the addition of the Sports Chassis only any good for pub-bragging rights;" lol they are funny these reviews, !!!!!! but they get paid to sell cars I guess......

That's optimistic with no mention of warranty or when the major service is due. You can't get a 62 plate 2010 car either. I see it is also missing the Porsche spellchecker option [:D]
 
I have been away for last 3 weeks... so missed quiet a bit. I am now Spyder-less... Mine sold for a fraction below the asking price, and was collected last week - one very happy new owner. I pointed him here, so he may be along soon. Just shows though - people are starting to realise how good these cars are... and they like them full fat with all the extras! [:mad:][:)]
