Default roof catch rattles

Can anyone help me, my roof catches are rattling. I've already changed one side through my Honda dealer at a ridiculous cost. Now the other side has started. Does anyone know of anything that can be done ie adjustment, or am I forced to change the whole catch again?
Or can anyone suggest a decent web site that would be cheaper than my local dealer?
Cheers, Tone.

Use the search feature. You stuff sound deadening material in the cracks of the latches. Common problem, easy fix

You could also retighten the screws that hold it in place and put threadlock on them to keep them from loosening up again. That should just take about 10 minutes of your time.

If you had done a search (Latch Rattle Fix), you would have found this at the top the list.

This will not fix a defective latch but is a good place to start.

I had to have both latches replaced (under warranty) right at the end of the warranty period.
