Hey all---

I felted all the door's on the cabinet's--
I felted the rear seat base----
I added small "crutch" type rubber's on the pop-top tabs that rest on
the roof when the top is down----
I felted the back side of the rear table that rest's against the wall---

And I still have a rattle in the back of the Van that drive's me nut's
!!!!

Tonight on the way home from work, I'm on a pretty bumpy road--and I am
hearing this "click, click, click"----

I reach up behind me, and grab onto the pop-top release /
latch----and---Ah--HA !!!!

This is it !!!!!

Is the darn latches ( or handle's) that you push up to release the top,
rattling !!

And not only them, but the top wiggles a bit when the van hits a bump,
and the two pin's that go to the flat plate that serves as the locking
mechanism, are rattling in the hole's of the latch!!!

How in the heck, would the darn top get pulled down tighter to the roof,
so they won't shake in the latch?

I looked at oh holy Bentley--but as usual, I found no answer's---

Have any of you adjusted the pop top tighter to the roof?

This is really driving me more wacky !!:>)


Thanks Much----
