Hard top rattles

[Gk51]

Just got a 2004 bird. It has an annoying rattle in the rear of the hardtop. It seems if you push down on the back it has a sqeak. I was told that is normal. Don't really believe that. It has the gasket installed.
Anybody with experience with this? The rattle is primarily present at low speeds, below 40 mph.

You know what the Dealer would say " Leave the hard top off and just us the convertible top " I think there might be an adjustment on the rear locks that hold it into the body. I am not sure mine doesn't rattle. Good Luck , Rick

We just got our Car, mine did it a little.Took the hard top off yesterday.
Before putting it back on , I am going to try some silicone spray.
