Glass Panel on Targa Roof
I am trying to isolate a rattle that my targa roof has......Only occurs when roof is closed.
Sunshade and all associated parts are out of the car so its just the roof and its mechanicals. Has rattled slightly since I bought it.
Seems to be on the driver side front corner. There is movement up and down, in other words, I can push up on the roof when its open and when its closed. Is there a bushing that fails? Ideas, suggestions.
It's not that bad but would like to eliminate whiles its apart.

Second that on the TSBs. There's one specific to noises in the top.
In my car, I found I needed to tighten one of the allen-headed screws that holds the metal frame of the top (not the frame of the glass -- the painted metal frame that's part of the body) to the windshield frame. Took an hour or so to take all the trim off to get to where it was. The steps are all laid out in the TSB.
All in all, an easy fix, and cheap, since no parts are required.
