One side had a black plastic cap, the other was missing so the metal stud was rubbing on the backside of the metal toneau making a horrendous squeak. I put plastic/vinyl anti-squeak tape and that fixed it 100%.

For this clip rolling around, I'll have to check the convertible top storage area once more to be sure. It's a bit tricky since you need to partially open the top to get in there, and then after a few minutes half open, the system drops the hydraulic pressure and the top starts closing. You have to work fast! LOL If there's nothing in there, I'm taking that trim panel behind the seats off.

For the driver side B-Pillar, I have a ticking noise there as well with the top up near the upper seatbelt anchor. It's hard to hear with the top down. I was playing around with that trim flap behind the seatbelt and noticed some change to the pitch of the tick noise, so I suspected it was in there somewhere. It's a complex mechanism so I couldn't pinpoint it exactly. I'll check for the loose trim clip you mentioned. Thanks for the help!

The other noise I have is a squeak noise from the back of the leather seats rubbing on the rear plastic finisher when someone is seated. It may be from the cleaner/conditioner the detailer used on the seat before I bought the car (I just bought it used this past February). I've tried de-greasing the leather back there, but it still squeaks. I'm thinking of adding adhesive backed black felt to the plastic trim so the leather rubs on the felt and that should prevent the noise.

I'll let you know what I find out!
