99 RT/10 hardtop rattle

[ChrisXoxide]

There is an area on my hardtop, the passenger side rear connector that rattles. When I reach up and hold it when I drive, it doesnt clap back and forth and make any noise, so I'm just coming on to ask some suggestions. I'm guessing putting a foam "boot" around the clips would stop them from making noise vibrating between eachother, but maybe someone else has done otherwise.

Any quick suggestions?

I have heard that the connectors can loosen up and need to be adjusted from time to time. Worst case being that the top lifts off under heavy acceleration. Damaging the top and the windshield post.

I wrapped mine in some duct tape. also put some cut clear plasit hose over my front connectors to reduce the rattles upfront too.

I took mine to the dealer and they fixed the problem VERY well. They tightened it or something like that. They did a very nice job.

When I purchased mine, I found the front passenger side connector to be loose. I took it off and found one of the e-clips that allows it to swivel but keeps the connector tight, was missing. I replaced it, fit is awesome now.

My r/t had a bad creaking sound coming from the hard top. i put armorall on the rubber trim and it stop doing it for a while.

Chris:

The rear clips are adjustable. I found this to be a two person job but after removing the hardtop, you'll find that the rear clip travel can be adjusted with a screwdriver. You need to shorten it slightly so that there is more downforce. This should eliminate the rattle.
