Rattle roof noise
Anyone else experience any sort of light rattle noise coming from the hard top roof while driving? It sounds like its not secured and tight
I've made sure it's closed all the way but the noise still comes. wondering if this is an common problem, I might have to bring it in the shop tomorrow.

I've noticed it happens when I have the windows up, I guess it has to do with the window and top.
all the SL's do it? not something I would expect, especially on a 100k+ car

Seems like most of them do it to some degree. Both of mine have rattled despite attempts by the dealer to fix them. I have learned to live with it.

mine does it too from one specific spot... would help to have a passenger detect the noise while you drive..... or better yet let them drive while YOU check where it comes from.

The same for me... I just read in another forum, that it is a fuel tank problem and you need to change it. It costs about $2k.
Mine sound happened to start appearing after a hard turning of the car in the curve, like 70 degrees. and now on every bump I hear like some of like bolt or metal bumping behind drivers seat.
Also, when the roof is opened I can't hear it...
If anyone could solve it, it would be great...!

I doubt its the fuel pump, it sounds like its coming from the roof, whenever I have the windows closed.
something to do with the contact between the windows and roof

With my 18" OEM wheels and and stock height, my roof doesn't rattle, pop, or vibrate. But, as soon as put the 20's on for the warm months, and lower it back down, I get an occasional rattle. But very random, and very intermittent. So they certainly, "don't all do that."

I had a slight rattle emanating from above the passenger side. It drove me crazy for about 6 months until I pulled the trim back and inserted a small piece of sponge. It never came back.
