There are probably several sources of rattles and creaks. To diagnose a common one simply press the button that opens the roof and lowers the top, but only very briefly. You want to lift the rear window as slightly as possible. This will take the weight of the roof off of the black plastic deck that it rests on and will also lift the locating pin in the slot in the center of the deck. If there are no more rattles the cause is from the locating pin, or the 14 small fasteners that hold the black plastic deck to the trunk lid These small nuts can be seen under the lid when the trunk lid is in the raised position.
Be very careful if you tighten these. They are indexed with paint to show if they have been moved and they may be quite fragile.
The center locating pin is also thought to be a source of noise and lubing it is thought to work also but did not in my case.
