Any ideas what could be causing a rattle when my hood is back? Seems to be coming from behind my ear towards the radio.
Noticeable when going over bumpetty roads. Bugs the hell out of me. Sounds like a tinny metallic tapping rattle.

Could be the catches rattling, but main suspect would be the little plastic insert in the roof release handle that has "Pull" written on it (the handle you use to release the roof when it is down). That particular item bugged the hell out of me until I consigned it to the bin.

A run out at lunch makes me think it's possibly the door catch, or something close to that over my right shoulder

That's been on my list of things to do for so long now  s:D :D s:D  .

Over your right ear, hardtop flylead is a favourite if you've got one. Pull the side panel from the bins and have a furtle around.
