Shark t-tops rattle

Any suggestions on how to stop 70''s t-tops from rattling? Adjusting the two rubber stops on the handles used to remove the tops has done nothing? The weatherstripping is not in bad shape. Not sure about the small plastic inserts where the tabs of the t-tops go in each side of the center brace. Could they be the problem? Anyone else found a solution?

After latching them goomers down, do a little pushin and pullin here and there. Once you find the loose spot you can decern the prob. Check your hardware to make sure your latches are tight. If the center is loose, then you are on the right track with the inserts in the center brace.

There are also shims associated w/ the center bar tabs.
