Need help with Roof Rattles

[smjc_99]

I have a 07 Boxster S and after having it for one month started to Develop rattles in the roof. When the Top is down the care is rattle and squeak free but with the top is up and when going on bumps I hear clicking /rattling sound from the roof

Is this the norm of rconvertibles or does my roof need some adjustment?

I never had a convertible before and Hate all this Squeaking

Any Opinions

We used to have trouble with cracking/squeaking sounds. We got rid of them by opening the top partially and putting some plumber's grease along the areas that come together when the top is closed. Since then, no more cracking/squeaking sounds.

You should be able to take it to the dealer and have them fix it since your car is brand new.

I will take it to the dealer and see if it can be fixed. Generally do convertibles have these rattles?

Mine doesn't. Good luck at the dealer.

Convertibles are plagued with top rattles for the most part, but since yours is so new there's few excuses for it. When it's 5 or 10 years old like mine, putting up with some rattles and sqeaks is to be expected. At least that's what I'm thinking anyway.

What's "plumber's grease"?

Plumber's grease is sourced from a Plumber's smile.
