Angry Annoying and loud rattle behind drivers ear

lately i have been getting a very annoying and pretty loud click behind my ear, when i go over moderate bumps. definetly dosent do it with top down, ive checked all the allen bolts all tight ive lubed all the points (kinda shittly with wd-40) the spare tire is tight all other points seem tight,, when i hit the part around where my red arrow is the sound is reproduced (yellow circle is where the sound seems like its coming from) but i still cant pin point where this noise is coming from, if it wernt for this noise the cars wud be quiet. uhhhhggg

thanks for posting that link, I think that may be the spot that is causing my squeak just behind the driver. I've spent the last month getting rid of every rattle and squeak that the car had, I am down to this last one and I think this may be the ticket to curing it.

I'm going to try softening that area with a sticky patch asap. Thanks again.
