So needless to say, I purchased yet another S2000. Upon the 250 mile drive home I noticed a noise coming from the soft top when I took sharp turns. It sounds like something is rolling around in there. Maybe a ball bearing? The funny part is I have no idea where it can be. Do the bars for the softtop have an opening that would allow something to get inside there? Are they even hollow? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

 

The bar above your head, take out the plastic caps on the ends and blow some compressed air into them.
There may be rivets in there loose from when a new soft top was installed, at least that was the case for me.

Alternatively you can drive in circles with the roof half way up until they fall out.

 

That's what I did. Actually, I just pulled the caps, left the top up and drove around normally. They fell out after a little bit.

 

I'm so glad somebody asked this lol. I've been curious,but didnt care enough to post

 

Thank you for the info guys. Which caps are we talking about?

 

Mine has this issue too but it's in the front leading part of the top so I think I will need to take the hand grip out and try and fish it out some day.

 

you should call bryan, he could help you.

 

I can not even lie, that made me laugh for a good minute or two but nope, I'm good.

 

pshh ill be in touch with you

The ones at the ends of the bars.
