I found the problem its the damb areas on the sides of the latches that dont move. They feel plastic though it was dark so I couldnt find out if there is a screw that needs to be tightened or what.

My passenger side is much worse than the other. Anybody else had the problem and solved it?

Mine did this once when I was in the mtns with the top up. Took me a while to figure out where this noise was coming from when I was VTECing. Never did it since, so I guess I was lucky it was just how I closed the latches that time.

Mine rattle. It's the button on the side that need to be pushed before unlatching the latch. It only rattles on rough asphalt or on the lane buttons on the hiways.

Mine have rattled almost from day one! I've learned to deal with it, just like the squeeking top on my old MR-2 Turbo.

My passenger seat belt rattles also, so I keep it fastened whenever its not in use.

Mine just started lately; I'm trying to find a fix also. Mine's on the passenger side, too. So far, I've just turned up the radio.

Me too. Drives me nutty. I have to slip it up the sash a bit to stop the occasional knocking against the inside of the door.

I have been experiencing the problem with the latch rattling, especially the passenger side. It drives me nuts. I thought I'd complain to the dealer next time I taking it in for service.

Anyone found a good solution.
