Hey does anyone know how to fix a rattling convertible clamp? or where to go to fix it without replacing anything? I dunno what happened but i think it involves potholes, but all of a sudden the right side convertible clamp thing is rattling, and it does that wherever i go. any suggestions?

usually requires either adjusting the frame alignment (which is no small task), or replacing the strikers on the windshield frame. this has worked for me.

I would try this first: Technical Service Bulletin

It's much cheaper (I used high-density foam lying around the house), and worked for me.

I noticed a rattle comming from my latches and I came up with a little fix for it. All I did was apply a little glue to the plastic part in a few areas and the rattle went away. I took a pic and marked the places I glued. I Hope it helps..

I have "squeeks" when I go over speed bumps and I hear it on the high way but there is way too much road noise to tell. (I have a hardtop now!)
