Default Rattling Glass

Since the weather has turned colder, Ive noticed that my back glass rattles. It drives me nuts. I took it in to the Honda dealer today, and they lubed up all the operable parts of the top, basically told me that was as good as it gets, and it didnt help at all. Anyone else have any advice, or should I just crank up the stereo?

How does your glass rattle? Its stuck to the canvas top?

Is it only at low speeds, highway speeds, etc?

My top also rattles in the rear around the glass window.
I've yet to pinpoint what's causing it though...

Its at any speed...a constant vibration (almost like a bowl full of change vibrating). Not sure if its stuck to the top, or rubbing something...

You should check the top - there are felt straps glued to each side where the top overlaps the glass window - there to protect the top from the sharp edges of the window trim. They come unglued and can get twisted, and then make noise at speed.

I have no idea about the bowl of change thing though...

a rattling that happens to me that drives me crazy is the rear windshield (between the seats not the window).
