Hello. About two years ago I bought and installed a hardtop for my 2005 Spyder. In the two years there were no rattles from the hardtop. I am now getting a bump induced rattle from the hardtop at the driver side front latch. It does not appear to come from the latch but can be alleviated by pushing up on the hardtop near the driver side front latch. Any ideas to fix this? Is there an adjustment on the hardtop latch? Thanks in advance!

I found an excellent video on adjusting the rear latches. Not my problem but in case it helps others, here it is!

My driver's side rear latch used to rattle a bit. The adjustment was maxed out so I added some tape. No more rattle and that was years ago.
