I've got rattles and I DON'T drive it daily. Honda will take care of the problem/aggravation under warranty. I'm just too lazy to take it in.

I have rattles, but I also live in the Detroit area. You haven't seen a pothole until you drive down I-94. The rattles seem to go away if A)you turn up the stereo, B)you drop the top, or C)stomp on the gas. I prefer to go with option C.

'01 w/46,000 miles. No rattles. The hook & latch has loosened due to wear. This has increased the wind noise when the top is up. I have since fixed that with a piece of tubing slipped over the hook. Voila, no more wind noise.

'01 daily driver, 35k miles, the top rattles a little but is worse in cold weather, could be due to the sub I have in the trunk, that always seems to listen interior trim, etc., up a bit.

Overall it's nothing to complain about, mostly the rattles only occur over really rough pavement or bumps in the road, etc. If you want to avoid rattles, buy an Accord with 70 series tires.

2 years, 1 month old, 25,000 miles and only little squeaks normally when it is very cold out.

Below freezing and there is significantly more noice until the top warms up from the heat in the cabin.
