soft top rivet rolling around
Hey guys. The top was replaced by the previous owner under the TSB and a new OEM soft top was installed. Ever since I've had the car, there's piece of a rivet that rolls left to right during harder cornering. It's inside the bar right above my head. I've lived with it for this long but I'd much prefer to remove it if it's possible. Any suggestions? Thanks

what I did to get mine out take a hard turn left or right. Removed the rubber car on the end of the frame bar and used a magnet on a stick but, didn't really work so I just fished it out with a coat hanger and eventually got it out.
Now I have another similar rattle not sure if it is another rivet or something loose inside the door panel. Ill have to get a passenger to listen for the noise. Doesn't bother me now that I have a exhaust.

Had a "tech weekend" at my place last weekend. one owner removed the rubber cap and the rivet fell out. we hit the tube w/ compressed air too, just to be safe.
