Default rattles in the roof???

Hi

Is there anyone else out there, who like me, has bought a new Boxster this year and has rattles in the convertible roof? Over rough roads makes it worse and the sound is like a kind of clicking.
Brought it back to the dealer and they eliminated one type but another seems to have popped up in its place.
Driving me mad.
Is this normal or are all new Boxsters 'click free' as I would have expected?


Cheers

mustbe something loose.. My 00' boxster squeeks here n there on the roof but it seems to be a normal occuring thing with convertible tops. Its not exactly sound proof or a one piece frame.

my 99 had the same issue. It was the little plastic cups at the front of the top. I poped mine out and used a little silicone, and re-installed. Problem solved.
also, on my 99 the plastic windscreen in the back rattles a little....I have not repired it yet, but am thinking of replacing the little rubber insulators.
Anyone else have these issues?

Yeah.. The screen rattles here and there on mines. Plus if you put the seat all the way back the leather squeeks here and there when your driving. Im not sure if this is all normal but I would think so since theres alot of mechanism for convertible top.
