As I slow down, I can hear a loud creaking from my targa top, how do I stop this>?

 

Turn up the radio... seriously...

if you own a del sol, a rattling roof is something you have to live with.

The part that is rattling are the arms that stick into the roof, they are hinged in the middle so they rattle against the plastic cladding. I tried to stick a bunch of padding right at the hinge, but once you pull that lever to latch the roof in, the padding gets shifted out of the way.

I dunno, try taking your roof apart and try to think of some way of keeping the arms from moving.

*EDIT
Oops i read "rattling" instead of "creaking." Usually a creaking roof is usually from the rubber roof lining becoming too hard. Try lubing the rubber up with some sort of grease.

if you pull off the plastic roof thing u can lay some dynamat on the roof and it will stop flex also there was some screws on there that you can add like 3 washers and make it more stiff... NO CREAKING FOR ME

 

I use silicone spray on the rubber seals....keeps it from getting hard and noisy.
