986 Hard Top owners

[dghii]

No experience with Box top. Do owners experience any squeaks etc? I bought a 99 BMW M Roadster a few years back that came with a hardtop. It wasn't needed here in FL so I took it off shortly after driving the car from Atlanta home. The top made lots of noises and didn't seal all that well in a big rain. I didn't mess with it that much so I'm sure some attention to the fit, along with lubrication of the tops seals would have helped.

I no longer have the car as I sold it to a neighbor a few years ago.

The few times it has been in the rain, I have not had any issues with leaks. SoCal doesn't get a lot of rain. The worst was a Palm Desert dump while on the freeway. And I have not experienced any squeaks or rattles. The three mounting points seem very strong and secure. And I always clean and condition the seals as I am putting it on or taking it off. I had forgotten about the rear defroster feature, it works very well also. The only possible negative is the defroster wire plug connection is very close quarters to connect.

Any thoughts on the impact on a soft window when it's stored down for long periods of time?
