Default Rattle rattle rattle...

The "hooks" or latch assemblies on the soft top are rattling up a storm when the top's down. Any ideas how to shut them up.

Do you latch them shut when you have the top down?

Yes, I know what I'm doing.

The latches are opened, closed, then the roof is retracted. They made no noise until just a month or so ago. Occasionally the passenger side latch (the part you grab on to, not the hook) would rattle when the top was up. Usually redoing it would cure it.

Something is loose or needs lubrication. I don't know what to tighten or lube or what kind of lube I need to use (not the anal kind, that's from another thread).
