Rattle

[Blu bi Kong]

I had an annoying rattle up above my head. Check your bolts holding your windshield. Two of those four bolts of mine had loosened up and the washer was just jiggling. Simple two minute fix.

Doing a “squeak check” every 6-12 months is not a bad idea:

1) check all screws in hardtop and windshield
2) check all fasteners on sound bar
3) lubricate all rubber weatherstripping, especially if you go topless as the sun exposure speeds up dryness. Do all doors, freedom panel and especially tailgate.

makes a huge difference ...

I've gets looked at, cleaned regularly, driveshaft greased, axle ends gone over, fluids check, shocks rebuilt, air and oil service. Have even discovered a few other unnecessary rattles inside both the A and B pillar covers.
... ... .Those bolts, have eluded me! Until now at least.

I was told to oil the door and tailgate hinges occasionally as well to help prevent corrosion. Does anyone do this? I was told this by a specialty Jeep and truck custom shop that does all kinds of things to jeeps and trucks as well as undercoating and rustproofing. I am thinking there is a better option that just squirting oil on there and walking away. Do y'all do anything for hinges?

I grease my hinge pins at least once a year, when I remove the doors

I have heard some use dish soap with success, which is an inexpensive way to do it. My neighbour is a mechanic at Honda and he let me use this stuff ... it is what they use. It was easy to apply. I applied it, and then left everything to air dry.

I am sure that others have their own brand/choice as well.
