Only issue with my vert is when I'm going over rougher roads, I hear a rattling noise from the rear area (right side I think). When I'm on smooth roads though, I don't hear it. Things I've checked so far:

- Rear seat belt mounting bolts are tight
- Took everything out of the trunk that I could, (including the carpeted floor board that has the flap you secure so the top can come down) & Styrofoam pieces. Noise was still there.

- Checked everything that was mounted in the frame/well area of the trunk. It's all tightly mounted.

The main thing I noticed is that when I go behind the car & push inwards on the rear fascia near the license plate, the fascia hits the frame as soon as I press on it. Looking under the car, the rear cross-brace has no room between it & the rear fascia. I think THIS is what's causing the noise. I'm also wondering if the tube that goes from the gas fill port to the gas tank is loose somewhere between the body panels.

Dealer has to mount some kind of sensors because they've heard it, but can't figure out where it's coming from.

I've thought about adding white stripes to mine....just don't know how it would look with the black top. I probably will end up doing it at some point.

IMO... The stripes make the car. Combined with the seats... Great choice!

Red Vert

Here is mine!

Actually, I had issues right off the bat on Day 1 right after arriving home. While putting the top up, it started crunching on the plastic upper trim pieces and then started cannabiizing the interior plastic moldings in one of the backseat side areas.

But after getting everything repaired, it's been good as new with none of the reported problems that others have mentioned about.
