Rattle from rear deck with roof up...any ideas..
Rattle from rear deck with roof up...any ideas..
Bit of a weird one..after a long long winter with many nights past -10c I have an issue with a really nasty plasticky rattle from somewhere around the headrest area...
It’s definitely vibration induced..rough road surfaces at certain speeds cause a constant rattle..stationary or billiard smooth roads at speed no rattle..
Not speed related , doesn’t change in frequency just occurs more.
Sounds like really cheap broken off bit of plastic rattling somewhere...
Top down no noise.
I’ve inspected / tapped all the roof panels in their intermittent positions and there is no induced rattles on any of the panels..
Any ideas?
I did think the windbreaker was an issue but removing it didn’t seem to have any significant impact..
Just seems strange after several months of very cold weather and no usage..

My symptoms, too, especially this one.
My indy found ... a broken n/s/r barrel spring, at least 2 feet from where I thought the noise was coming from.
He then lubricated points on the roof frame in the boot.
Bingo.

Did the fault stop with the roof down?tintoverano wrote: ↑Mon Apr 26, 2021 7:47 pm the final solution actually was viewtopic.php?f=45&t=120228&start=15
The noise sounds like a lightweight plastic trim type noise rather than a heavy metallic noise ?

My broken barrel spring rattle sounded like it was from one of the plastic hinges on the folding luggage cover. And it stopped, or so I thought, when the roof was down.
I'm not suggesting a broken spring's the culprit here, only that rattles can be very deceptive.

For sure they often appear to come from locations that are not the true location..
Just seems strange it appeared over a long period of inactivity and a very cold winter..
We are on a tour at the moment with the boot stuffed full of bags etc and that hasn’t changed the behaviour..

At least a partial fix found...
The driver’s side seatbelt cover behind your right shoulder sounded a bit suspect on tapping...lifted it off to find a broken piece of plastic and two of the metal clips that are designed to push click hold the panel having dropped through and rattling around..
I can only blame myself as I was the last person to mess around with those covers...quite why now after about a 2 year gap they decided to rattle who knows..
Still a few creaks from the rear area but bouncing over Lewis and Harris’s finest roads at speed probably doesn’t help the creaking ..
