roof rattles at high speed.

[Guest xtrader]

recently encounter roof rattles at speed above 90km/h... sound comes from the driver side rear.

anyone have this similar problem? Or roof 'cracking sound' while driving up/down slopes.

just updated from the agent.

they found the rattling noise not from the hood/top.. instead they found the black external piece(driver side rear) next to the glass faulty

and it need to be replace. the mechanism motor also need to be replace too.

finally all is done and the rattling noise is gone. :clap:

Congrats! Rattles are absolutely annoying...

Today, I hit a depression on an uneven road n my boot roof cover snapped open! Haha! What a serious scuttle shake!
