Rattle, right rear interior panel on 2016 2SS convertibled
Wanted to see if anyone else has experienced this. Getting a constant rattle in the panel to the right of the right rear seat. When I put pressure against it, it stops. But, when stopping the top in mid open or closing, you can see down there pretty well. Nothing seems loose, not eve the panel. So I'm wondering if something is banging against it from the top mechanism. Any thoughts please? Thank you.

Took mine to the dealer when I heard a creak coming from back of the car, drivers side. Car only had a couple hundred miles on it. They found a broken clip and replaced. At 11,000 miles or so, the small spring actuated cover that goes into place after the top is down was failing to pop up on the drivers side and I could hear a squeak from the passengers side when top was up. Took to the dealer and they replaced both assembles (DS and PS). This eliminated the problems. I can dig up the service records if you want more details. I love the car! Love the Top! Can't wait for winter to end.

More info ...
I have finally dug out the service record regarding the noise I was hearing with the top up. It is as follows: Test drove vehicle verified creek noise over bump from driver rear. Inspect drivers rear of interior and found creek noise to be coming from underneath quarter lower rear trim panel. Removed front side door sill garnish molding, quarter upper trim panel, and rear back seat cushion seats to remove quarter lower trim panel. Inspected for damage. Found the metal retaining tabs securing quarter lower trim panel once installed to cause creek noise while driving over bumps. Installed Kent automotive BRS flocking tape on metal retaining tabs that secure quarter lower trim panel. Reinstalled all parts in reverse order… I have not heard the noise since.

Thanks for that. This rattle is present over every little bump, almost constant.
