Click click click in the top frame

bvl

I have not seen a topic like this before. Some folks report clicking fro the two rear fasteners that have plastic tops that the top frame can rest on.

My issues is lots of clicking in the top frame where it attaches near the windshield on the driver side.

As the frame flexes slightly (typically heard more at HW speeds over expansion joints, but starting to happen more and more) I hear clicking/rubbing that will drive anyone insane.

Finding noises is one of the most challenging things to do in a car.

its not the window against the top as the noises occur with the window down.

I have opened the top a few times partially to try to look under the top at any wiring loom possibly rubbing plastic on plastic or some other interference. So far no good.

My guesses are:

1. Metal on metal interference/vibrations to the front
2. Wiring loom or other item with plastic wrap hitting something
3. hinge in the metal frame of top

Anyone experience this or something similar? I am sure I can get the dealer to hear the noises as they are constant and easy to, but I have near zero confidence in any dealer wanting to do anything about it (its not easy, and the ability to charge back to Nissan for warranty work is difficult to do...what's the problem again?

Figure I would toss this out to the collective.
