Default Annoying rattle from hood mechanism

Hi

Got an annoying rattle starting in the hood mechanism above drivers head. Any ideas to help stop or reduce it. MY05 S2K

Cheers

Leave the roof down (like in your sig.) The noise won't bother you when the car is parked.

How bad a leak? TVR sized? Or just trivial
