Simple! do what I do, never drive the car with it up! problem solved! No, seriously, if your top rattles check for loose or missing bolts in the top frame. Also check your weatherstripping, especially the headder piece over the windshield, if it's flat or worn replace it. Also check your hinges and the J-bolts, if necessary turn the J-bolts in to tighten up the seal on the top and also the little plastic recepticals where the J-bolts hook are prone to cracking , so replace them if they are damaged.
