Hi everyone,
I have a really annoying sqeeking noise coming from the drivers side rear when my roof is down. It seems to be coming from over my right shoulder area. If the car has been in my garage and I put the roof down , the noise isn't present until 10 mins of driving . I f I leave it outside , its there as soon as I drop the roof. I have checked the roof bolts, lubricated as per porsche the roof components, the rubbers I have cleaned and gumi pledged. I have used silicon spray grease on the trim parts that are known to creak , they have gone but the noise is still present. I have noticed the flaps that move to allow the roof to store in the rear do sqeek if touched. I have greased these but I cannot eliminate that sqeek. I have noticed when driving , if I put the roof half way up , it stops. Anyone from the forum had the same issue? How did you resolve ? Any feedback welcome . Its in for a service in August , hopefully he can solve it , if nobody here can help , many thanks.
 
I think I have found the issue, the flap is creaking against the rear trim card. I could replicate the noise if I pushed the rear trim with the roof down . Used a small amount of silicon grease on the rubber bung , hopefully that cures things ??
