Have any of you with rattles installed the windstop hardware replacement kit? The one that installs with pop rivets.

If so, you had to drill out the old rivets, and might have left some rivet remnants inside the rollbar, or rollbar pads [esp in the case of the middle pad]. I just did this job and had to drill a nice big hole in the back of the middle rollbar pad to extract a lost rivet, because I noticed it rattled quite loudly.
