Rattel top
I have a 2000 coupe. and whenever I put on the acrylic top the latch on the driver side rattles,( metal to metal sound). while I am driving and have the window down I pull down on the corner of the top and the rattle stops. is there an adjustment that can be done to fix the problem. the hard top dose not do this. thanks Gino.

The latches are adjustable but it is not self-evident.
You need a Torx drive socket to loosen two screws under the handle - one of which is only visible when you remove the plastic cover from the handle and place it in the open position. You can twist the handle mechanism one way or the other to clamp or loosen and then tighten the Torx. It's pretty hit or miss until you get it right then crank the screws down and replace the plastic cover.
