Default Targa Top

Is the Targa Top interchangeable between all C6 years? I know some changes were made through the years to try and silence the squeaks. What changes were made and when. If it matters my car is a 2011 and I'm trying to find a painted Targa because I'm not a big fan of the transparent roof.

I have a painted roof now on my c6 but had the transparent on my c5. I wrapped it and enjoyed the additional usability/ sun shade.

It's the looks of the painted top that I prefer, so a wrap doesn't work.

I have to say - there are some really good threads about the targa squeaks and creaks....... just search the C6 section for "Top, Creaking"

The #78 O-ring and the addition of the 3/16 Eclip along with lubing not only the top but the weatherstripping all along where the top sits with the chevy lube (expensive but worth every droop!!)

I did all of the above and my noisy, squeaky, creaking *** top has been so quiet............this forum is badass for finding answers to our problems

Good Thread!!!

Another Good One!

Dano523 recommends this type & brand of Dielectric Grease for both Weatherstipping and Electrical Contacts. Stops squeaks and creaks. Electrically Conductive-- rejuvenates connector plug contacts. This container (pressurized) is very practical and easy to use.
