We purchased a 75 2.0 yesterday but the roof squeaks going over bumps.
Is this normal? Is there a cure? All new rubber front/windshield and top of "roll-bar". Thanks, Will |

[/quote] Thank you for your response - I can certainly try the bit of vacuum hose on the pin to which the hooks latch, but I was wondering what those fuzzy things described above look like. I've been driving my car to work and got caught in drizzle last week (in LA?!). I pulled the car over, put on the top, and immediately had the need to start searching this site for solutions. What a great resource you all are! |
