Default c5 ragtop rattle

hi all, just developed a rattle from my convertible when on a bumpy road. I inspected the pivot point of the top frame on the passenger side
everything is like new and tight.
not knowing for sure where the rattle is coming from I even removed my door panel everything is tight and right.
has anyone experienced this type of problem? 2 weeks ago the car was as tight as a drum so i'm at a loss as to what it could be.
I live in Florida, not a lot of bumpy roads like new hampshire making it difficult to duplicate

Check you sunvisors on both sides to make sure they are firmly in the locking slots.

Anything in the 3 trunk wells that could be making the rattle noise? The handle to the jack in one of the trunk wells made my noise. Drove me nuts until I found the cause.
