Roof Rattle fixed...simple.
I've had the rattling roof for the last few months on rough roads. I was going to try the lube and c-clips thing on the latch but I had a set of O-rings in my garage so I figured I'd give that a try first. Just stuck a 5/16 O-ring (the little one in the picture) on each of the front pins and the rattling is completely gone. :rock:

Very clever, I will have to give that a try
|
I put shrink tubing on mine and haven't heard anything since. Good move. :thumbs:
|
Sweet & easy!
|
I have some of them in the tool box. I'll give it a try. Thanks.
|
i had some noise on my back pins and also used an o-ring. does not fit as nice on the back, but it worked! (along with some GM superlube)
|
I put rubber o-rings on the front and back posts on my '08 coupe 3 years ago. Not a sound from the roof since then.:thumbs:
|
I'm going to try the o-ring thing! Hope it werks I'm getting tired of turning the radio up lol
|
:lurk: ill get some of these and try that !
|
Good move my roof is making noise especially as it gets colder out. Ill give this a try.
|
I know the o rings work but i tried it and it made mine worse. I gues i need updated latches.

Confused? Front pins?

This helped mine, but not 100%. GM customer service told me GFY.

Tried this fix tonight and it seemed to reduce the creaking by about 70%. I'll look at tightening up the rear latch next. I have already switched out the latches to the newer version on my 08. I'm determined to solve this problem yet.

You might also try shimming by the front latch. That is what worked on mine. Not a peep out of it since:thumbs:

I did the lube thing, the o-ring thing, the e-clip thing, tightening the posts thing - and all worked for a while. I finally gave up, bought the new style latches - zero noise..... '07 with 102,000 miles....

Anyone have any ideas on stopping the incessant squeaking when the roof is stored in the back?
