Danncus Posted September 26, 2023 Report Share Posted September 26, 2023 (edited) I’ve got an increasing rattle which I think is from the tonneau or the linkage. Only when the roof is up and on rough road surfaces. It’s got gradually worse after doing the NC500 last week. When the roof is down in think the tension/compression stops the vibration Can anyone point me in the right direction to get to the bottom of this?

Danncus Posted September 27, 2023 Author Report Share Posted September 27, 2023 I checked those. When the roof is half open, and you thump the tonneau is sort of rattles/buzzes. It’s not very easy to spot where exactly from. It could be from the side guides that glide up the sides. They are un greased. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danncus Posted September 27, 2023 Author Report Share Posted September 27, 2023 looking again, it would be good to confirm if those shields are fitted correctly. does anyone had a good photo for reference? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daboy3000 Posted September 27, 2023 Report Share Posted September 27, 2023 It could be where the clamshell slots into the large plastic nut type things. Unfortunately my clamshell got slightly bent and although I have straightened it it does jiggle a little in this hole when moving making a rattle sound. Push down on it gently and see if there is any movement. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
