Default Ticking noise - window trim?

Need help identifying a constant ticking noise in my 2013 C2 Cab. The sound is always heard when the car is in motion, at any speed with the top up. The noise ticks at the same level, it does not get louder or softer.

It seems to be coming from one or both of the driver's side windows, or maybe the seam between the windows. So far the press and pray method of tracking a rattle have not worked and my arms are not long enough to explore more areas rear-ward of the windows.

Lowering each window is not conclusive as the wind noise drowns out the ticking noise.

Anyone have any tips?

Good guess, but I don't wear a watch and the ticking sound is irregular.

No Sports Chrono. The noise is coming from behind the drivers head and to the left of the driver.

The noise is present in all modes, all road conditions, all speeds. I'm guessing it is rubber, metal, plastic rubbing together somewhere around the windows.

The wind screen even though it is not up?

Time to sit somebody at the back and check it out.

I meant the sport chrono. As you don't have it I guess it's trim as you suspected

On the glass sunroof cars there was a service bulletin for some "rubbing" issues. Sounded like ticking / clicking all of the time. There was some lube applied as well as something done with a fastener or two, Maybe thats all it needs.
