I had that problem with my '02 cab and it turned out to be cables in the top that were rubbing together.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

3 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

My 2000 Cab drives great and is super solid, except for the soft-top when it is up. It is very noisy. I have already cleaned and dressed the rubber and all contact areas as my dealer suggested but with no luck. I also put top half down and checked to be sure all bolts were tight. Any suggestions? This drives me crazy!!

POST 3Original post

I had that problem with my '02 cab and it turned out to be cables in the top that were rubbing together. The dealer took care of it under warranty. According to the dealer invoice, the work done was "modify Zusatzklappe" and "repair loose cabriolet top housing." As Scouser said, there's a TSB on it
