Bracket that tension rope snaps onto is loose and rattles
When riding on some of the immaculate NC roads today with the top up, I kept hearing a rattle behind the passenger seat, in the area inside the convertible top. So I stopped and pulled off the tension rope and reinstalled. I noticed the bracket that the rope snaps to is loose, but maybe it's designed that way? I could move it quite a bit with my hand when the cable was off, producing the rattle that I was hearing.
I get back in and drive some more, and then the one behind the driver's seat starts rattling.
I have found the bracket in the Porsche parts catalog. It's position #19, and part #986 561 917 00, and is called a "Treaded Plate."
I was wondering if this plate can be tightened down so it won't rattle when on a bumpy road?
Thanks for your help.
