Has anybody else with a Mk2 noticed the soft top "chattering" when the weather is really cold? (1/00)

I've got the same problem - also in a bronze Mk2! It disappears as the car warms up, so the answer is to move to a house with a heated garage - or a warmer country! Either that or run the heater for 10 minutes before driving! (1/00)

This appears to be expansion/contraction of the roof compound. If the cars been sat in the cold and you turn the heater on it does it for a while as the roof warms up. I find mine does it too when I come off the motorway (120mph) and go onto an A road (50-60mph). Presumably the speed supercools the roof and then slowing down warms it up again. I find it continues when stationary with the engine off which proves it's not a vibration. (1/00)

Since putting on my new MKII softtop I have noticed that the hole thing bounces up and down (when down) more than my last top did. It seems to do it more at the passenger side than the drivers though, I noticed it because I could hear it, and then when I turned around to look while going over bumps I could see the whole frame bounce! Is this normal? Have I not done something? (I know this is a case for using the hood cover, but I have been in MKII's before and don't recall this happening? (7/00)

It happens on mine,(mk2 hood on mk2 car) especially on warm days when the hood material is more flexible and when going over bumpy roads at speed =:-o It's certainly more rattly than my previos mk1 hood, that needed serious provocation to bounce. (7/00)

No worries mine does all the time (7/00)
