Annoying rattle/creaking behind driver side door

[fastricky]

Hello all, I wonder if anyone can provide some insight or guidance. My 2000 Boxster has a rattle / creaking in between the driver side door and the air intake. It occurs at any speed over bumps etc. I imagine this would have something to do with the convertible top mechanics? I'm not quite sure on the condition of my bushings btw, it's possible they might be on their way out but I don't know if that could be creating such a sound?

On another note, the top while in good shape has a scratched and hazy plastic window. Would replacing the top perhaps also cure this rattle when the new top would be installed?

Any thoughts welcome and thanks in advance!

You can just change the vinyl window and not the entire top. A boat shop can change just the window.

Check you door lock mechanism. Mine did the same and it ended up being the door lock even though I suspected the top. Try a little wd40. Best solution would be to gain access and use grease.
