Toeside Posted July 18, 2016 Report Share Posted July 18, 2016 I decided the there was basically too much flex on the plexi glass so I fitted a small aluminium U channel section along the top of the glass and that has sorted it (at any speed). Stopped the flex by supporting the glass in the centre section. Its removable if anyone wants to return it to OEM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But i do worry the screen might pop out at speed (regardless of foam)! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boxstercol Posted July 18, 2016 Report Share Posted July 18, 2016 I've got the same problem with mine, some foam did the trick for a while but now it rattles at anything over 60. Sounds like it's going to pop out at times! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toeside Posted July 18, 2016 Report Share Posted July 18, 2016 Yes the foam works for a while then...... rattle rattle rattle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DazWhite987 Posted July 19, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 19, 2016 Superb....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toeside Posted July 19, 2016 Report Share Posted July 19, 2016 Ta! Its pretty simple and basic. I glued a Spine binder into the aluminium channel (it was a tight fit already so nice and snug) and it basically slides over the plexi glass. Thats the black strip bit below the channel.

lordlee Posted August 2, 2016 Report Share Posted August 2, 2016 I'm going to try the weather strip route first I think. Thanks for the tip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers. Will aim to pick some up over the next few days - will be good to eliminate one rattle at least! At what points on the wind deflector did you attach this stuff? I've used something similar before but the edges of the deflector are a bit awkward as they're recessed by the clips. I've found that the stuff I've used previously compresses & then it starts to rattle again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
