Question Top Down Rattle

Now that the weather is nicer and I have the top down more and more, I have noticed a rattle/noise? that is coming from the area directly in front of the drivers seat on the dash, right where it meets the windshield, maybe a little off to the left of the hump.

I have heard it in the past with the top up but I really hear it during top down motoring. Anyone else have this problem? Thanks in advance..

The rattle that is driving me nuts comes when I try to push the subwoofer a little bit. It seems to be coming from inside the driver's seat.

The first rattle i noticed was the center console wood trim as I drive. The second was the wood panels on the doors when playing the radio loudly.

I've noticed this noise too. Has anyone been able to get this taken cared of? My temporary work-around was to boost the BASS to 4-5 as the noise goes away on lower frequencies.

I must be one of the lucky ones. My car is as tight as a drum......top up or down.
