Cool Rear Window

With my top down, I always hear this rattling noise coming from the little rear window, lets just say, very annoying. Any ideas, i was thinking of just taking the window off totally, what will be the effect if i do that. Thanks

Do you have a glass window?
You can't just remove the window. Your best bet would be to lay a piece of fleece of similar on the window as you close the top.

I presume you are talking about the lexan windstop b/w the roll bars? If so, common issue. First thing, make sure it's latched in all the way and the clips on the side are not broken. If they are all ok, check out the various solutions by doing a forum search.

Here are the results when searching on Windstop Rattle

I'm sure one of the solutions in these various threads will work for you

I didn't catch onto that.
If it is the plastic windscreen you can try some felt, or something similar, without permanently attaching it. If you don't mind it being permanently attached, another member recently used caulk to eliminate the rattle.
