Annoying!!!!
Hey guys, I picked up my 05 Z51 6spd coupe 3 months ago and I am getting very annoyed by the rattles coming from the clamps on the removable top. Been lazy and it was cold today so i haven't checked to see if there is an easy way to adjust the tension in the clamps before they shut. It seems that if they were tougher to close, it would rattle less. Is this just a problem that I will have to live with , or is it an easy fix
? ThanksScott

Check out the adjusting new roof post at the top of this (tech) section. I put heat shrink on the post and it stopped the noise.
