Rattling soft top latch
Hi everyone
I have a significant annoying rattle from the centre latch behind the seats which you pull to release the soft top.
I think the spring has worn out so it rattles around a lot at low speeds on bumpy roads.
Anyone know what the easiest way is to fix this? Is this part available for order or is it easy to grease it with lithium grease or some other solution? Thanks

Its not the wind deflector rattling is it? I have heard of them coming loose so the perspex can move?

Definitely the latch not the wind deflector. Apparently changng a new latch means changing the whole rear plastic board which costs around 150 pounds and needs 1 hour labour!
