About a week ago, I started to get this non-stop rattle from the passenger side of my soft-top. It only happens when the top is totally retracted. I'm convinced it's coming from the hinge that I marked in this picture:



Any idea how to fix this? The allen screw doesn't seem to tighten and I've already lubed everything in the area with lithium grease spray.

Thanks!

 

Are you sure it isnt the latch???? That is a really common top-down rattle and there is an easy fix.

 

Yup. I already have felt pieces stuffed into in the latch because that started rattling about a year ago

 

There is a honda tsb that address the rattle and part of it calls for spraying those hinges with white lithium lubricant. I think the lubricant may work it's way into the hinge and dampen the noise.

Give that a try.
