I have a 2013 Sahara 4 door. The rattle is coming from where the latch is on the sunrider soft top by the roll bar. When I grab the middle bar on the soft top and pull down or push up the rattle stops. I'm trying to see if anyone on here knows how to solve the problem. It's the latch where you disconnect the sunrider top to put down the whole top. Can someone help.

Also having the same issue - I can see where the metal is "tapping" and creating the rattle, but I haven't looked close enough to figure out why yet. Anyone else have the same issue or take this to the dealer for a warranty fix?

I have had this once... But it was caused my me not getting the middle latch (where the sun-rider pivots) aligned correctly. My top wants to go up crooked when putting it up from being all the way back. This causes a high probability for the mid latch to not align correctly. I have gotten into a habit of feeling to make sure (or climbing up to visually check) that the mid latch is riding on the alignment groove. It is possible (and very easy) for it to fall off the side. It will still latch so there is no positive feedback that it's wrong until you here the rattle.
I don't know if this is what all of you are having, but it is what fixed mine. I have never had a noise when it was in the right place. (I have a 13' premium too)

I'll give some feedback either way.
