Rear Rattle

[kunta]

One of the two plastic clamps fixing the bar to the felt tray? If that's loose then a) common fault and there's a post on here about drilling it out and putting metal bolts where BMW cheaped out on plastic ones that fail and b) yes could well cause the sound you hear.

Had a look but can't find it, was it a recent post?

I had the same problem as you, adann.

The first solution was to replace the broken n/s/r barrel spring, for which my indy charged the part and half an hour's labour.

The second solution was for the indy and one of his mechanics to go over the car, lubricating and/or tightening everything they knew could rattle. This cost an hour's labour.

The car is now rattle-free, roof up or down.

So, I reckon you need a knowledgeable indy.
