Squeak At Start Up. For 1/2 Sec. Runs Great After.

[JP-"S"]

Toolpants or Mickeymouse you may know this.. I am having a issue like stated above that at start up the car squeaks and then nothing. Though it only does this every so often it is still annoying as hell though.

New topic

I put the hard top on and it also is squeaking to high heck but this never stops. Any suggestions?

:drive:

Thanks

Do you have two squeaks or does the car shake inducing the squeak in the hardtop, [probably the easiest to fix]. There is a chirp which can be a by product of a bad starter solenoid.

I hate to sound like a bird, but a squeak emanating from where ?

The top is probably squeaking from either three points, the lower two pins behind the doors, or in the roof center clamping position.

I would say a little WD-40 or squirt of white lithium will stop the top from squeaking.

The top is squeking from the clip on the drivers side and it does rattle a bit. and this is constent. (where the top slides into the windshield.)

The starter selenoid how much of a pain is this to replace Diagram by chance and part number. Man you guys are the best.

P.S. 2 seperate issues.

To tell you I am on with the starter solenoid would be wrong on my part, I am sorry but I would need to hear it and then diagnose it.

My statement was to give you ideas. There are no absolutes unless I was there :)

If you could get someone to listen and diagnose the starter; I can E mail you how too's, once that is confirmed.

The starter is a major pain in the boxster, it is buried under a bunch of stuff. :eek:

Your secondary problem is your top [minor].
