Convertible Creaking Noise (VIDEO)

Can't freaking figure out if it's the dash, door or convertible top

I've had a similar sound. It comes and goes. For me I think it's in the center near the windshield in the convertible top. I haven't been able to really figure out a way to fix it but if I stop halfway for a couple seconds when I'm putting top up it seems to help.

I've unlatched the top while driving and pushed it up, but still heard the creaking sound; which makes me lean towards some part of the dash.

Have you been able to address this with your Ford Dealer, WesleyEng?

Funny guy has to put a screaming zombie at the end. :(

I couldn't resist. I saw the perfect opportunity. Did I get you?:lol:

No problem, WesleyEng. Please be sure to PM me with your VIN, dealer, mileage, full name, and best daytime number when you make your appointment.

You ever get that fixed?

I just assumed it's cowl quiver and just shrug it off

No, going when I hit 5k miles yet. I did find out where that specific noise is coming from, because it stopped when I pushed down on the dash trim that holds the gauges and vents, but now I have another rattle coming from the top left corner of my windshield where it latches onto the top. Sounds like a little ball bearing bouncing on top of a glass desk

Yep, same here, feel like you hit the wrong pothole or bump and the glass will shatter xD

I think it's something in the latch mechanism bouncing around. I had the exact same noise on my 2012 vert

Wonder if they're working on a fix for it

 

[Rogues Gambit]

Any luck?

Took my car in the other day for the cracking rattle and while they greased it and trimmed part of the latch, still persisted after I drove it around for 10-15 mins (dropped the top, put it back up, removed the plate from my dash, still was there)

It only happens once in a while now, and I figured out where it was coming from for the noise in THIS video. It's the dash trim that houses the turbo gauge. When I push down on it, the noise goes away. Hopefully when I bring it in for my 10k mile service it will happen, but I really don't want them to take it apart and have anything else get worse.
