The little black cap where the rear defroster attaches to the the window ,on mine the wire was moving causing a tapping sound .Tap on the connection and see if that sounds like your rattle .............Now if I could figure out what to do about it

If you have the top down when it rattles make sure you have relatched the top latches after releasing them to lower the top. If not they will rattle.

I too have noticed that rattle when the top is down.
So far, I have not figured out where it's coming from!

Unfortunately my rattle/buzz was is the drivers roll bar and took hours to find and fix it. No more rattle/buzz though.

if you have the boot on, the straps will sometimes rattle... i put a black cork between the strap and the car- no more rattle in my car.

On my car, the snap where the boot attaches came loose, then fell off. While it was loose, it made a rattling noise.
