Default Roadster rattle with top up

Can't locate a vibrating noise over rough surfaces - with top up. It seems to come from behind the seat at ear level. Have tied, taped our buffered everything I can find but it still is there. Took rollbar enclosures/gaskets off and tightened everything in there as well. Does anyone know if there is wire or cable going through any of the framework? Any other ideas?

I presume you've stopped the mecanism with it in the "goal-post" mode (1/2 way, both rear deck and top in UP position)? It seems there are approximately 1,000,004 possible things to rattle.

At what speed does it start? Does it come and go?

I'll take a look today and see what I can see.

Cool Re: Roadster rattle with top up

Try adjusting your seat away from the bulkhead, if your seat is touching the bulkhead the seat will rub or vibrate.

Centered? Left or right? Is it a "buzz" or a "rattle" (high frequency or low)? Does it happen even when you're idling at a light (in gear, brakes on)?

I'll try things on my end if you can give me any clues.
