once in a while, when i close my top, during the last phase where the soft top latches onto the tonneau cover, i hear a loud "PAK" sound. as if, it has to force itself into the hole. i have had it looked at by nissan twice and they said they fixed it.... after a few weeks, it comes back.

has anybody else had this happen to them?

my tonneau cover doesnt seem crooked or uneven or anything. they also had to fix the alignment of my top twice because the latch at the front wasnt matching up with the hole on the top of the windshield area.

 

Mine makes the same noise. I assumed its normal.

 

the sales person told me that sound is the sound it makes while it locks itself....

 

maybe i am not describing it properly. usually, my top just slips into the hole. with a muted sliding noise.

but for the past few months, off and on, when the latch goes into the hole, it has a really loud "PATAK!!" sound. almost as if it has to force it's way into the hole. that is definately not normal for my car.

sometimes, it startles me. when the service guys heard it, they admitted that it was not normal. it always comes back though a while after they fix it. kind of annoying.

 

hmmm...my car always had that noise. I thought it's normal....i gotta admit, it is kinda loud...

 

Mine use to be wisper quiet too. It is getting alot louder. It does sound like a loud smacking sound now.

 

thanks for the response guys. i guess i will just have them check it out AGAIN if i ever need to bring the car in for something else.

 

i kinda use it (the sound) as a queue to know when to let go of the button....

 

i used to watch the seat go back, but now i just look at that light on the dash panel and wait for it to turn off.

that sound just makes me think that something is getting damaged. oh, well.
