Default Rattling Rambler...

Once again I come to the CF for your insight and help. I have a 1990 Coupe (L98), my top now rattles when the top is on the car. I've identified the problem. The 2 T-30 bolts that attached the main bolt (the one you unloosen to remove the top) to the top have lossened up. I took the top off the car and attempted to retorque these two bolts down (with very limited success). The two torx bolts are behind the 2 sided tape attached rubber bumbers.

How do you tighten them? Sounds simple but the force used to retorque the 9o'clock position bolt causes the 3 o'clock bolt to loosen, no amount of pressure that I've infliced would make that little booger stay put.

Can anyone assist me in resolution of this tinker topic?

My Mom and Dad bought one of those back in 1964. It was a green stationwagon.
