Noise after replacing softtop
something is rolling above my head and its driving me nuts.
when i make a turn i can hear something traveling from one end of my top to the other. it seems like something is loose within the bars that are part of the soft top. it sounds okay on straight line but when i make a sharp turn or make a turn, something above my head just rolls from one end to another.
anyone with similiar problems?

the fix was very easy. thank you guys, i would have had to gone to the dealer again if it wasn't for s2ki.com
just pop out those plastic end caps with a knife and you're all set to go

Allstar, thank you so much for asking this question....
My car has done this ever since I bought it 2 years ago. Somehow I thought the only way to get the old rivets out was while you were replacing the soft top. It took me 2 minutes to fix this.
I can't believe it was that easy!!
