Anyone notice roof raddle? noises?

Post by ericem »

Ever since the car was new if you were on the highway the roof would make noise like it was bouncing, and it wen't away but you can still hear it in the rear, anyone find a fix for this? My dad told me when they first bought the car it was VERY loud then it went away but there is still some noise in the rear now which can really get annoying :D Any ideas to fix this? Thanks.

There's probably some clearance between the roof skin and frame pieces. You'll need to put some foam or something between the frame & skin.
