My 2024 1958 picked up what I have read about, a very small faint rattle in what seemed like the door or maybe even the dash. It sounded like something broken and rolling around…..well that was partially correct.
I have a new to me Wescott full rack. After missing with it a lot for the gap, I discovered that the recommended cutting of the roof gutter seal was the best option for me to get what I wanted gap wise. This leaves a portion on the channel exposed/open and is basically a small ditch.
So fast forward the rack has been installed for a while now. Arizona has had some torrential down pours lately and being Arizona the road are flooded, full of muddy/graveled water crossings and when the water is gone just mud and gravel. Well that mud has gravel, I have KO3s, those pick up small rocks.
My rattle turned out to be a small stone trapped in the open channel and it rolling back and forth in the channel
.
Literally about 2 hours of driving around trying to pin point the noise with my wife. She says ya know it sounds like it’s on the rooftop. My first thought ohh shit something in the head liner….but I looked up there anyway. A little stone about the size of or just smaller than pop corn kernel in the exposed channel. Removed it, and now the annoying noise is gone !!!!!!
I know that was long but I thought it was pretty funny and hell I don’t even know if the tire kicked it up or bird dropped it there or a neighbor playing a joke ??
All I know is it was annoying as hell and I feel sorry for those that have rattles that are not easily found in any vehicle.
