Default Hardtop Rattle
Just moved from Germany to Arizona due to orders and unfortunatly the roads here are god awful compared to Germany. I went ahead and bought some Shin-Etzu grease for the rubber and 4 shims for the hardtop latches. Hopefully this will fix the problem.

What have you guys done for hardtop rattle?

The shims should do the trick BrutalDawg, the Shin-Etsu will keep the seals in good shape. Before adding the shims make sure the hardware is tight.

These are the shims to use if you don't already have them.
