Default Convertible top noise

On my 2008 convertible with power top I hear a rattle type noise coming from the top just above where the glass comes in contact with weatherstripping towards the back of the side glass. There is nothing loose; I put light grease on the top mechanism connections and applied silicon grease to the weatherstripping but no luck. Its a slight rattle that you only hear occasionally but is more pronounce over median bumps. I have moved the top up and down looking for something loose but everything looks tight, just wondering if there is some sort of adjustment that can be done by a professional. Its annoying! Any ideas?
