targa truss
I have a 94 coupe. With the targa top off I have a bad rattle that seems to come from the latch area of the rear glass. I have tried adjusting this numerous times with no luck. has anyone tried a targa truss or does anyone have any other ideas. I like driving it with the top off however the rattle drives me crazy, any ideass, thanks

While I don't have any personal experience with the Targa-Truss, it's supossed to be stronger than the factory targa assembly. I would imagine that in your case it will cure that rear latch rattle.

If you want a Targa Truss, I know of someone who is selling one, or you can contact R-D Racing for a brand new one.

thanks yes I would love to get intouch with him, I think that might solve my problem, I have checked everything else and I HATE RATTLES. I also hate the way it handles that is the other reason I don't take it off, however my wife likes the top off so I need to keep her happy so I can continue to enjoy my car, if you know what I mean.

Have you thought about R-D Racing's Cross Frame? Same guys that make the Targa Truss, same price, accomplishes the same thing, except you can't see it when you're sitting in the car....
I only mention this because I wouldn't want to be cruising around with the top off, look up and see this huge black piece of metal obstructing the view

try going around the rear compartment with a screwdriver and tighten all screws.
it cured my rattles and buzzes at 31k miles.
some of the pieces are big and a loose screw over here can cause a rattle over there.
worth a try.
on the cross-brace topic,you need to consider the loss of clearance with it.
it sticks down even further than the vert factory one i guess.
i would like to find a oem vert one personally.
owners of the rd report even though it scrubs on occasion it doesnt really hurt it any....
