Condition/Concern:
Vehicle may exhibit a rattle noise from the Convertible Top Stowage Compartment Lid when the top is down (stowed inside the compartment).

Remove the shims from under the stowage lid striker and carefully close the cover to check for interference with the waterfall. The waterfall is the trim piece that appears to flow from stowage lid down to the tunnel, between the two seat backs. Adjust the waterfall down if clearance is needed. Check the stowage lid flushness with the rest of the body and adjust with the bumper stops if necessary.
