My 02 Z28 T-tops have started to rattle....has anyone had success fixing this?

 

SFC's usually help.

TS

 

What's that?

 

SFC = SubFrame Connectors.

They are a great suspension type mod. Welded ones work better then the slp bolt-ons. They cost about $130 I think plus install is extra of course. They are known to reduce or eliminate squeaks and rattles including the t-top rattle.

You can check around most muffler shops to find one that will weld them on for you.

Good Luck

 

Oh I see now. I didn't make it clear, the t's are not rattling because of flex or looseness when in place, the rattle is inside the plastic housing which covers the lock assembly. I thought I would try to put some rubber gasketing between rattling parts inside it, but didn't see an obvious way to disassemble it.

 

If memory serves me correctly, the cover is held on by phillips screws on either end.

The handle is held on by a c-clip - pop it off, and the handle will come off easily.

I've tried "jury rigging" mine, and even bought new plastic inserts for the car frame - no luck.

I wind up bending the mounting tabs for a short term fix.

A few days ago, someone posted about putting that liquid foam that dries in, but I have yet to figure out where to put it - if indeed that is even the problem on my SS.

SFC's will help with T-Top rattle only a little, wont completely fix it. You should still get them because they do a lot more as well.
