A simple solution to a roof rattle in a convertible when driving on bumpy roads. This method was tested and proved to be successful on a Lexsus IS250C and a Lexsus SC430

Perfect - my reward for 10 minutes with scissors and duck tape: a smile on my wife's face as her is250c is super quiet now - you have brought a small moment of joy to our lives in an increasing noisy life! I simply cut 10cm x 2cm strips, pulled tightly around the 2 x side and 2 x back 'U' shaped metal parts - and then 2 x side 'rods' sticking out the side of the middle. Magical, easy, zero cost fix. Thanks from the UK :-)

Murray, I used your brilliant advice years ago. Over the years, the electrical tape became “worn in, or worn out”. I put up with the agonizing creaking sound for months before I bravely applied a little more electrical tape. I didn’t want to test the maximum limit of tape beyond which a problem develops. The additional tape silenced the annoyance. Brilliant! 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

Thanks Murray. Many thanks for your great advice. I added wd40 to the moving parts. Strangely, it removed much of those annoying rattling sounds. I suspect its because of the car ageing and that the gears do not move as freely. Solid roof panels are supposed to have some degree of free play, so to allow for the panels to move a bit when car is moving over humps. So, when this free play is constrained, that may have brought about the rattling noises. My car is a 2010 e89 z4. Your wd40 suggestion worked wonderfully! Just spray on the moving parts! yay!

You're the man. I used electrical tape on the front header posts and the rear lateral strut brace hinge where there is a pivot point that has a metal-metal stop. I also put silicone spray on the window seals. Now the car is like driving a solidly made hard top - hasn't been this quiet since I bought it (2002 Mustang GT). Thanks so much! Tim

It seems to have worked and I hear way less noise but I wish you would have explained and slowed down as you did it step by step. It was very difficult trying to decipher and freeze the phone as you did it. I guess beggars can’t be choosers

It is lovely to read the comments and know that I have been able to help some people. But unfortunately it has been over something as insignificant as to how to avoid an annoying noise when you hit a bump. If only it was a video on "How to avoid spending eternity feeling frustrated and miserable... /weeping and gnashing of teeth.

Be careful with putting tape on the front studs where the top attaches to the front windshield. The tape stopped the top from attracting and I had to assist it by pushing. Luckily I was able to get the top to come down so I can remove the front half of the tape that soft it from retracting. Other than that definitely has helped with rattle

My IS250C has a rattle on the driver side where the top attaches to the windshield area. The passenger side is good and tight. I'll have to give this a try. I may use the loop part of hook and loop fasteners instead of duct tape.

Hello, could you please let me know if you were able to fix the rattle? My daughter's car IS250C has a rattle on the same side, and I would love to get advice on how to fix it.
