Default loud click when going over bigger bumps

I have a really annoying loud click when my top is up and i go over a moderate or bigger bump. It sounds almost like a quick click/spring sound. It seems to be coming from the top left corner right behind my left ear. Everything around there seems tight, it also happens most the times but not always... has anyone had this sound before?

does it sound like it's coming from the soft top frame? If so you may just need to lubricate the pivot points on the frame. I used a dry lubricant on mine and it made it much smoother.

take the top half way folded
buy a good lithium grease spray can,

Lube each soft top pivot, use a paper towel wit the other hand to catch the overspray.
It's a 5 minute job and fixed my squeaking noise over patches and bumps
