Default Rattle in rear targa mount.

I have been debugging my car since getting it back from the paint shop, but i have a rattle that seems to be coming out of the rear targa mounting area when the roof is off, and I see nothing loose on the outside.

Thanks

For almost two years I was chasing this same sound (although not with very much effort) It turned out that the front guidepin was loose and flopping around when the top was in the hatch.

Its probably the torx bolt used to fasten the top. If i remember correctly i believe there is a gap between threads on the torx bolt so you can back it off enough to remove top yet leave the bolt in the bracket. It could be just ratteling in that gap. :cheers:
