Check the "bump stops." there are two, one on either side of the car an it seems that is what provides tension on the convertible frame when it is up (i.e. so it is not pulling directly on the deck lid). I could push down on the vert top near the back and it would be just springy enough to come back and hit the bump stop, causing a rattling. I adjusted it one turn (further down) to add just a bit more tension and mine stopped. you should be able to see them with the vert top in a mid position, looks like a plastic cone on a threaded screw. I am sure as the weather changes significantly those may need to be adjusted to accommodate for the heating and stretching of the top.

hope this helps... I can take pictures later if needed.
