No, you won’t have that bolt because it only comes with rigs with the hard top or dual top group. Khsonic03 provided a link a few replies ago where you can purchase them on amazon for like $8. Grab some silicone spray and apply liberally between the plates before really tightening that bolt down and you should notice a difference. Open your soft top to sunrider position to access the plates.
These are the bolts from amazon you need https://amzn.to/2S8QNFF
Thanks! I ordered them and they’re sitting on my workbench waiting for me to get motivated.
No, hardtop already has the bolts installed. All you can do is make sure they are tight.
Damn! I’ve already torqued them to spec and also tried tightening them all the way. None of that has help and the annoying driver and passenger side creaks persist. Anyone have any suggestions?
Have you checked the sunvisors yet? The hard rubber and the hard plastic will give you a rattle/creak on even the smoothest roads. A little fuzzy sided velcro over the rubber bumpers silenced the noise reflecting off of the windshield for me. Also, when my wife is done with the mirror, the hard slap of the visor going up is muted too.
No, the sound is definitely coming from above the driver and passenger heads near where the Freedom panel lever is.
I have the same issue. It’s been making me crazy. Did you find a fix? ThanksUnfortunately I had a busy weekend and didnt get a chance to mess with this, but I have been thinking about it.
If it is the plates, I'm guessing it's a lateral or twisting force that's causing the noise.
Thinking applying structural epoxy in the spots below could eliminate lateral movement and reinforce the whole area.
Yes - I posted a link to some bolts that fixed the noise. RubenZ re-linked a couple posts above.
Did they come with washers? are you able to post a picture of how it looks after you installed the bolts? Thanks so much!!!!
