Roof rattle when stowed

My roof rattles on when Stowed in the trunk. Anyone else have this issue. I see a lot of topics when on the car, no problems there. It sounds like a bunch of creaking.

I've never heard a peep out of mine. Maybe check to ensue that it's seated properly.

Done that many times. It's seated. Sounds like plastic creaking

I wrapped a little felt around the contact points. All better. The soft side of velcro with the sticky back does wonders for creaks. They drive me nuts

Mine is doing that too, I believe it is the rear latch as it does not close when stowed in the rear of the car.
