clamp it down outside??? i've seen folks do that but didn't like the way it looks...i'll check the bolts and see if they are on goodFrom: treyjung@xxxxxxxxxxxxx: tcb@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx: [tcb] Re: crackling noise in the windDate: Thu, 23 Oct 2008 14:21:58 -0500 My first Westy did that - I tightened the pop top braces and it seem to help a little - I attributed this to taken off the top to paint it and must not have got it back to where it was plus I used a new seal all around and it seem to not have seated as before and air gets under the top. Some people clamped the top down in the front.Trey ----- Original Message ----- From: Brian Denning To: tcb@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Thursday, October 23, 2008 1:41 PM Subject: [tcb] crackling noise in the wind i noticed driving back from t@tp that my top makes a crackling noise...especially in heavy wind and when semi's pass me. is this normal? anything to do that would prevent this? top has all new seals on it.
