Re: Rattling noise from soft-top
Yup it's inherent in four-seater soft-tops. You'll notice there's not a squeak when the top's down.
PML says they can apply some grease or whatnot to fix the rattles but that won't last either... no big deal lah, it's not a problem-problem

Re: Rattling noise from soft-top
It's not as bad as it seems when you turn on your stereo, or next best thing - drive open top. PML typically will spray silicon to reduce it, I think......someone needs to confirm that. It is no biggy as I had worst from my previous cab rides - Miata & S2K.

Re: Rattling noise from soft-top
At low speed along uneven roads, there is a continuous rattling sound from the right side that can be quite irritating. I tried spraying some silicone lubricant (which I got from Home-Fix) over the weekend but the sound is still there. Don't know whether I am spraying in the right place. Sometimes when the car is stationary, I can hear a soft rattling sound coming from the back as well. Only when I am in "D". Once I switch to "N", the sound goes away (probably because the car doesn't vibrate so much). I've removed my toolkit, emptied my boot and removed all small items from my car so that I can reduce the noice level but it's still bugging me no end. Are all these normal? I'm going mad.

Re: Rattling noise from soft-top
Dnt borther abt lubricating it, 2 later the sound will come back. No ned send to PML to fix too cos they might readjust the alignment of the softop, after tat u might have a problm when raining cos water leaks in. My rattalin sound nt so bad previously but after i add in the strut bar anti-roll bar then the sound bcome worst!! Live wif it! Nt all cars can produce tis kind of 'sound' woh, only a softop! kekeke

Re: Rattling noise from soft-top
The squeaking of my cab became worst on the right side after installation of V-kool. I wondered whether the slight extra layer had caused more squeaks. The "cure" for me is to lower the glass and then squeeze the rubber seals running along the top part of the window frame. Works for about one trip
Yes Alvin, the ARB clanging is another thing altogether

Well, rattling is bo pian.
They did lubricate the top the last time I sent in and it helps... but another N-S trip at high speed its probably gonna come back.. haha.
