There are end caps on the bars which can be pulled out and the loose bit can be blown out the other side with an air gun or a deep breath.

If it can't however or the bar doesn't have a end caps then you can either inject a little selastic or silicon sealant into the bar.... go for a drive like a maniac... and that little loose bit of the rivit will slide from side to side eventually being stuck in the silicon and be captured there whilst the sealant sets inside the bar thus no more rattle/rolling/tinny sound from that loose rivit bit.

Worked a treat for me after having the roof replaced and the old rivits rolling around in the bars. Some blew out, some were too big to get past the new rivit in place. Silicon Sealant injected into the bar caught the loose bits and set.

Also the Rattle in the Roof catch above the front window can be solved with by removing the whole flippy catch thing, running a bead of sealant between the plastic liner and the catch which slides around and vibrates to make that annoying sound... and reinstall the catch. No more rattles.... EVER!

If I think of more solutions, I'll post them here

Bump for this? I have the exact same issue, It's only when revving the motor. I can be parked in neutral or driving and rev to 3-4k and it will make noise all the way up. Higher revs the louder/persistent it gets. Seems like something is hitting somewhere but man i'm convinced its coming from the radio/dash area. Perhaps underneath? Any ideas. It sounds awful. Happens with top up or down.

It turned out to be the passenger visor. If I put it down or even half way down, the rattle stopped. I need to investigate further, as I think its held by just one screw.

Another "tapping" noise when switching from left to right turned out to be a small glass bottle of empty aftershave under the passenger seat rolling around.
