Default Anyone elses plastic window flapping in the wind?

With the top up. Tends to make a constant tapping/rattling noise as a result on the freeway. I have a feeling this is normal for roadsters though.

Any thoughts?

With the top up I can't hear much more than engine/exhaust/tranny/diff noises. All those noises are magnified. No flapping that gets louder enough to hear.

Do a search ... this problem usually seems related to the clamps that connect your top to the frame ...

Have fun,

The flapping noises seem to be coming from the back window. Not the front clamps.

This happens to me too, but only at highway speeds. With the windows down and the top up, the window obviously blows around, but even with the windows up I can hear it flapping a little bit. I just figured it was something I would live with.

It's happened to me before when there was a high crosswind.

The latch rattle is aparently a common problem which I found out while doing a search. The dealer should be able to fix it.

My rear window "flaps" a little at high speed, but it's not particularly noisy.
