Default Glass Top Rattles

And I've got the bolts tight!! I can see the glass top moving when I'm driving over uneven road. I think the body may have flexed a little from driving around with the top off in the past and now that I've put it back on, it's not seating correctly. Although it sure looks like it's well seated. I'm thinking of jacking up each side one at a time and seeing if that will allow me to torque the bolts a little more.

Am I completely off? Any comments or suggestions?

You should not be able to see the top moving. See if the alignment bolts are secured or if any piece of the top is cracked on the frame.

On the windsheild header, the two bolcks you thread the front of your top to, are probably what is loose. Remove the trim on top and the trim around the windsheild. There are two bolts for each block. If i remember correctly one is pretty tuff to get a wrench on so its likely what is loose. :seeya
