Re: Do you have a screw loose?

I'm getting ready for this 800 drive in the Duchess and tightening all bolts was on the agenda. I was shocked at how many were not as tight as they should be holding the fenders, front piece with the grille, some trunk screws. Thanks, Gerd, for the reminder that it isn't just after restoration that this can be a problem, but that it always was.

Of course, listening to and for rattles and jingles in a convertible is a life long (life of the car being longer than the driver) endeavor. Even with lock washers, bolts and screws can loosen.
