Soft top rear handle vibration

[ChadR]

Hey! My 2018 JL soft top rear release/drop handle vibrates when windows are in and we roll down driver or passenger window at highest speeds (with top locks locked or unlocked). It’s really loud and sounds like something broke. Last year had no issues. Gonna call the shop. Anybody had anything like this?

Same issue, warranty will not cover soft top issue, figured out the left and right folding arms were bent at the top where they meet the soft top, $20 for each arm, issue is they are on back order and taking weeks to get. Put hardtop back on for now

I think I might have solved the issue with the soft top rear latch rattle. Well maybe...

So I was investigating this today and found that the 2 cables that run to the latch handle are held in place along the soft top frame by little push pins. 4 pins had come out. Making the handle loose. I pushed in the pins and added a few zip ties to home them and the handle tightened up. It wasn’t much but enough it took out the vibration so far.

premilinary tests are positive
