New to 996 - need help!

First Porsche - 02 996 targa. Awesome so far. Here r some basic ?'s I would appreciate any help with (some very basic):
1. How do u close targa so it latches?
2. Clunky noise in front when going over speed bump or bigger bumps?
3. Squeaky targa when closed - easy tips?
4. Replace battery in key - red light blinks but doesn't work
5. Harder question - I put new tires on but some vibration when over 70

Thanks for any help u have!

#2, and possibly #5 may be due to bad/cracked strut bearings.

#3 that's the nature of the targa... just got to learn to live with the squeaks..

#4 might not need a new battery rather a new key remote. if the light blinks when pressed there is power going to the remote. this is an expensive fix as you will need a new remote and then have to have it programmed looking at $400...
