Has anyone else had this problem? The noise is coming from the hinge area. Any suggestions? My car is a 2006 with 600 miles on the odometer. Thanks...

MY04 has the same problem. I think alot of ppl have this issue actually. It's still under warranty so just take it back and they can re-tighten it. But it will start getting loose again. I've had my car for over 2 yrs now and every few months or so I take it back and have the dealer re-tighten them. It's annoying as hell.

There is a TSB out there saying something about replacing the locks with hardtop strikers (because they work better), but I don't think it applies to the '04 - '06 year models. FYI

they started using the hardtop strikers in later model years I believe. You might try slipping air tube used in fish tanks over the hooks on the top. This works for some people

Actually the noise is from the hinge next to your head where the top folds. What kind of lube?

I would use white lithium grease (spray).

Wait, are we talking about hinges - where things bend the top - or latches - whhere the top attaches to the windshield?

Its the noise from the latch right? Sounds like its not tight or some sh!t. I unlatch it then put it back on and it goes away for like a week, then comes back......son of a B! I freaken have the same problem, Im gonna set an appointment and let yall know how it goes.

My latches were rattling and the dealer replaced both of them under warranty. Really not that big a deal.

i have the same problem but 70% of the time my top is down. i only hear it on my way to work in the morning but gets drowned out a bit by exhaust and road noise.

is there a TSB report for this problem for the AP2?
