i have the same problem... I think it has something to do with the part of the soft top that over laps the passenger side of the glass window. When the rattle comes, try reaching back behind you and applying pressure on the edge of the glass with your fingers, pushing the window outward or further back and see if that stops the rattle. This works for me MOST of the time. If not let me know. Cause My rattle is more or less the same as yours... very elusive

where is the spring of the trunk? I am getting really annoyed of this. Makes me not want to drive my car
they are like the black thin rods that are left to right. I haven't done this yet as I have a HT on. But I did read about it on another post.

I had an annoying buzz years ago that turned out to be the soft top motor. I wedged a rolled up piece of electrical tape between the motor and the frame, taped it in place, and the buzz has been gone ever since.
