Sounds like your roof strikers are worn.... There was a TSB for MY00-01 to replace the strikers with hardtop strikers.....
I fitted a hardtop last week and the day the fixing kit was put on the car - the strikers were also replaced. Coming home with the soft top up, the car was noticeably quieter.
I nearly didn't bother giving the strikers to the garage as mine looked fine.

Thanks for TSB, I have hard top strikers though! Will check for wear and get some type of rubber tubing to pull the parts closer
i had the same problem with the strikers on my car. i sorted it by making up thin metal shims about 3mm thick 9mm wide and 14mm long. i stuck them in the striker gap with double sided sticky tape where the hook would come into contact with them. this provided enough tension to stop the roof rattling. i tried the rubber hose fix but this only lasted about 2 days before the hook pierced through it becoming lose again. no rattles 8 weeks after mod.
