Quite a common problem IIRC...have a search for 'Squeak hardtop' and I'm sure a few solutions will crop up

Grease hardtop seals all round with silicone
Grease soft top hinges.
Make sure rubber feet are holding folded roof in position.
Make sure that soft top latches are not rattling, apply elastic band fix.

Those are the usual suspects. After that you need to look at tracing the source and perhaps adjusting the fitting kit.

Sometimes I get a rattle from the latch on a bumpy road. I've found that leaving the latch closed and pulling the roof open for touch til it tightnes up gets rid of the rattle.

Not sure its so good for system keeping it tight, but it solves the problem for me.
