Thanks, MGP. I didn't read anything too favorable about the Solstice this morning; except of course on Solstice forums!

Sounds like I would be "downgrading" anyway!

 

as far as the top latches rattling...mine did the same thing. i did some investigating, and found that the problem is that the latch is several pieces, two of which being a bracket on the outside of a stationary piece. apparently the outer bracket gets loose after a while and starts to rattle. well what i did was take a few small pieces of paper, fold them up, and wedge them between the two brackets to act as a damper. problem solved!! well that, and i also added the hardtop strikers, but that didn't affect the rattling, just greatly reduced the wind noise in the front. good luck, hope this helps some.

confused...do you two know each other?

second, convertibles aren't known for their lexus-like quietness

third, that girl looks like an asian shannon doherty

 

If you spend a few minutes with a few shims and silicone grease, you can eliminate 98% of the rattles and squeaks.

 

If the seat is all the way back, it rubs against the back of the "cabin" creating a squeeking sound and leaving some really nice marks on your backing and seat.

 

anyone know how to eliminate the rattling of the latches when the roof is all the way down?

 

see my first post...

 

i guess i meant from the latches "bouncing" up and down as you go over bumps and such...does that take care of that rattling as well?

 

i guess i don't know for sure, but i don't get any of that anymore
