We rode around with one of our guys in the trunk to attempt to pinpoint some of these noises and try to figure out where they are coming from. When we drove around, neither our struts nor the factory Ford struts actually made any noise or moved while driving. We found the two biggest sources of noise were the latches for the trunk access and the plastic window clips rattling at the top. But even this wasn't consistent and reliable duplicated. We have seen a number of customers report back that after adjusting the mounts that are secured by the 6 large bolts behind the access panels in the trunk as well as adjusting some of the latches themselves, most noises have been resolved.So I have the originals installed, went through the paint scratches and installed the modified parts (all good, IAG did solid with all that). Both sides are making a clicking/tapping sound in both the up or down position whenever I go over bumps. It's driving me nuts.
Anyone else have that?
There are so many variables that you are dealing with on a folding convertible top. Multiple contact parts, flimsy components, and even the ambient conditions can have an effect. From dust to humidity to cold and every other weather event, road conditions, tires, etc are all going to change what you hear, the noise it makes, and the frequency at which it makes noise.
