Hard-top rattles

Post by WideOpenThrottle » Wed Sep 12, 2012 11:21 am

Annoying me for awhile but could never find the source.

Here is what it was...the two bolts under the cap on both sides were loose.

Never knew the cap had bolts under it!.... I do now! & so do you! :D

:shock:

I always thought it was my soft top, I didn't think that there was anything loose on the hard top to tighten! Gonna go do this right now.

yes there are wedge shaped plastic blocks screwed in there. you can adjust how tight the rear pulls down by moving or even packing the bocks out.
