annoying rattle?

[mkrssr]

i just bought a new 05 ssr a couple of weeks ago and just love it except for an annoying rattle that seems to be coming from the top stowaway area over my right shoulder. i have opened the top panel and nothing seems to be loose or out of place. any help in this problem would be greatly appreciated.

My SSR is rock solid - no rattles unless I put the top down - then the Sun Visor Makes noise (only the Drivers side) for some crazy reason. I pull the Sun Visor down and it quits.....

My 06 does it too but only when driver window is fully open. Open the passenger window some and it will stop.

I am going to track this down and fix it.

I used to have this annoying whistling noise when i drove my truck but found if I held my head inside the car, instead of hanging out the window with my mouth open, it went away.

I get a annoying rattle from my pass side seatbelt,it clangs against the metal
headrest molding. I went to auto zone and bought a seat belt strap protector
and put the end of the buckle into this sleeve,no more annoyance?! Hal

I hear creaks coming from my top when its up but no real rattle.

I posted some info on how I eliminated some rattles in my 05 SSR's hardtop. Take a look at this thread

My top still makes an occasional "noise" when going around a hard left/right turn but nothing like it was making before I made the adjustments in that other thread.

I hope that helps!

I had a very loud rattle in my '05 that I thought was coming from the dash area until I realized that it was coming from the header rail on the driver's side where the top meets the windshield. I coated the weatherseal above the windshield with Armor All and it's quiet as a mouse.
I did notice that there are TSB's for top rattle on '03's and '04's that require replacement of the "A" pillar weatherseal. I don't know if there is one for the '05's.
Good luck.

I read a post on this same rattle a month or so ago.
It is an adjustable-stop bolt for the top.
There is a picture of it in the post.
It's not quite tight enough so it hits and makes noise.
If it is adjusted, do it just a little at a time as to not go too far.
A pad of insulation-tape was also suggested.

If the spot your talking about is right in back of your head ,and goes across
the length of the top ,rattles when you hit it, i used black door edge on
that piece and the one near the read window.It took of my problem.
