Default Top adjustment...

My C6 top would rattle and I used some dielectric grease to quiet the noise. The C7 top has started the same irritating rattle. I was told there was an adjustment for the C7 top that would stop the noise without the grease. Anybody know anything further...

Not sure of year of your car but THINK it was’14s that needed a new white insert in the fwd headliner holes where the 2 pins go. Also a simple fix that usually works is to tighten the rear hook that pulls the top down snuggly. There is a hard to locate Allen screw that is loosened & then you can rotate the hook to tighten the top down. Only tighten the hook a TINY bit. Good luck 🍀

There is a "Pin Kit" available from the dealer that changes out the front pins. My 15 was rattling like stones in a metal trash can. New pin set fixed it. - tom

Mine's a 2016. No extra charge for the rattle on the drivers side.

You can try tightening the hook on the rear latch. There is an allen head bolt that you need to back out first with a 5/64" allen wrench. Only adjust the hook 1 turn clockwise at a time.
