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.

 

There is one bar that does not have a rubber cap end. if its the case drill a hole in the bar and go for a drive.

 

The shop used compressed air. I just drove around with the cap removed (they didn't quite get all of them).

 

ok, thanks guys. So i guess i have to check if its the bar with removable caps. I'm 99% sure it's the forward-most bar

 

I have the same problem! Let me know how this works out for you!

 

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.

 

New S2K owner here with the same problem. Where exactly is this bar located on the car? I would so love to get rid of that noise. Thanks.

 

You can't locate the noise? There are cross bars in the soft top frame. It will be one of those bars.

 

Got it. Thanks.
