I said it in the other thread about this list. The ssr doesn't have bad cowl shake when compared to other large convertibles. Mustangs, for example are much worse. However, a lot of SSR's come from the dealer out of adjustment, and with dry seals, so the roof rattles and squeeks and exagerates what cowl shake there is. Also the windows tend to rattle in their track when down, and the door latches can jiggle . As we all know, some well placed lubrucant , and adjustments really quiet the thing down and make it feel more solid. These problems shouldn't be there. but at least they are fixable and not major structural design problems . However, to someone not really familiar with the truck, such as a magazine test driver, it seems like major cowl shake. This was one of the things that helped hurt the SSR in the press. It was mentioned on a lot of the magazine test drives. It's also stuff that would have evolved out of the SSR or been dealer addressed had production continued.
Actually a lot of development went into our trucks to keep cowl shake minumum.
