Essential 2-Piece Hardtop Mounting Bushing Set (Replaces OE: 47300168)
Eliminate hardtop shake, rattling, and excessive play with this 2-Piece Hardtop Mounting Bushing Set for the Fiat Barchetta.
These bushings are essential for providing a secure, factory-tight mounting point for your detachable hardtop. Over time, the original bushings degrade, compress, or crack, which compromises the hardtop's seal and causes irritating noises and movement. This high-quality set is designed to restore a solid connection between the hardtop and the body shell.
Crucial Information for All Barchetta Owners:
All Fiat Barchetta models (with or without a factory-fitted hardtop) require these bushings to correctly and safely install a hardtop. The rear hardtop receiver mechanisms are standard on all cars, but the small cushioning bushings are often missing or deteriorated on cars that never had the hardtop fitted. Installing a hardtop without fresh, solid bushings will likely result in rattling and an improper fit.
Key Features & Benefits:
- Targeted Noise Reduction: Directly addresses play and rattling at the critical mounting points, significantly improving driving comfort.
- Restore Fitment: Replaces worn or perished components to ensure the hardtop seats correctly, maintaining the alignment and seal.
- Durable Construction: Made from resilient material to offer long-lasting support and resistance to compression.
- Essential Maintenance: A crucial and affordable part of hardtop ownership, ensuring your car retains its coupé-like feel in winter.
This 2-piece set is generally designed to replace the bushings on a single axle (e.g., the two rear main mounts or the two front mounts). Please verify your vehicle's needs to ensure full coverage.
