Default Coin moving sound when turning

Hey everyone.

Was just wondering if anyone could shed some light on this -

Whenever I turn the car, left or right (like long turns) I can hear a few coins running across the car just behind the driver seat. I have a feeling it could be just underneath the convertible thingo magie (no idea what its called?)

Has anyone experienced this problem or have any ideas?

I had a small peice of metal ( like a piece of weld) rolling in one of the hollow tubes for top. I popped of the end cap and went heavy in some curves till it rolled out. It was very annoying to listed to.

I've had coins in several places that did that (seat rails, console, etc). Good luck with tracking them down.

I have something rolling around in my soft top frame. I'll check to see if I can remove an end cap or something to get it out. It is INCREDIBLY annoying. lol

Well since it is a common thing, I would assume that something could get trapped in there during the manufacturing process

How do you go about removing it to check it out?

If it is a coin, I'll be surprised. Has your top ever been replaced? They are likely pieces of the old rivets that held the top to the frame. Either pop off an end cap and hit some twisty roads or spray some compressed air into the tube. They will come out.

I have this noise as well. Will never do it on the dragon, but hard turns at the track will sometimes do it. Sounds like money sliding back and forth behind driver seat

Sounds exactly like my problem!! Except I've no idea what Dragon is.

I don't think the top has ever been replaced, I just figured there might be coins that could've fell into the gap that the hinges in the car come out of (where the rotors are maybe?0
