2008 GT Convertible Issues?
My 06 GT vert top does not rattle. I have been thinking for the last 30 minutes how the top handles could rattle in the first place. My top is extremely tight when I close the handles. If I leave the top down for a week straight it seems even tighter. I've noticed that extended periods with the top down seem to leave a slightly larger gap at the end of the roof closure run. It takes a little more effort to close the roof handles. I seem to recall reading in the OM that this is normal. I also recall reading the proper way to close the top. I want to say that the OM instructs to close the passenger side first then the drivers side. That being said, I just can't figure out how there's enough "slop" in your roof and handle assembly to allow for the rattle. It almost sounds like something inside the handle/latch has broken. I would think if the handle could rattle the top would be noticeably loose.
BTW, I noticed the other day when I got a totally open stretch of our Marina Freeway all to myself, and stepped on it, that at around 90+ the top, which was down, started to fill with air and rise up a little! I backed off the gas and it stayed filled with air until I got down to around 80. Going to have to remember not to do that without the cover over the roof! Just wish it wasn't so hard getting it to fit.
