    Targa Tops Rebuilt by Dave Brown

    If you own a Porsche 911 Targa, at some point in your ownership you are faced with restoring the top. No matter the enviorment the top has a shelf life of about 20 years max.

    There are lot's of issues associated with that need. My top aesthetically looked acceptable but my low mileage Targa suffered from lack of use the last 15 years or so. Since owning it the last 4 months we have used the car a lot and the top started to deteriorate on the vinyl seams where it folds when stored.

    After reading some threads, and a nice conversation with Dave Brown it became apparent who would restore my top. Dave Brown's shop is in Boulder, CO about 350 miles to the north of where I live. The classic Colorado fall weather with the aspen's turning was a perfect opportunity to drive to Boulder in the car to visit Dave. Dave took the time to measure the car, and showed us how he restores the tops using a special jig he devised and explained the complete restoration process and some common issues with the tops. The end result is a top akin to a work of art the factory would be proud of ! Fantastic fit, look and now quieter than it was before.

    If your top needs help, you need to get it The Targa Top guru with over 35 years experience. Thank you Dave !
