The proper way to eliminate as much rattle as possible will be to remove the side plastic covers (where the hardtop slots in at the back not at the front windshield). Then loosen slightly all bolts so that the hard top can 'float' freely. Drive around a bit and aim for those bumps so it can move and sit down into position properly. Fasten all bolts.

I just stuffed some foam behind the hook to snug up the slack and it basically rid all the rattling.

I did what the guy a few lines up did as well. I went to lowes/homedepot and got foam weather stripping tape and put a layer of that between the ht and the rear seal provided by forbidden. Some shinetzu grease and its a wrap no noise unless I pull into a driveway sideways where the car flexes a bit and the ht obviously doesn't which I guess is unavoidable lol Goodluck keep us posted
