Default Soft Top Sabotage

Someone on the Bestop assembly line has a sense of humor or poor quality control. It sounds like I have a bb in one of the crossmembers of my top. I hear it roll with every turn and sway of the jeep. Ugh! I guess I will have to do a little search and destroy. I dont hear it as prominant when the top is up...but hear it big time when the sunrider is folded back (and all the hardware is stacked together complicating the location of the noise)

go out and buy a magnet and capture the whatever and once the magnet has a hold of it no worries, unless it isn't magnetic? stone?
1/2" x 1" x 1/4" ceramic magnet should do the trick

I have a stock soft top and I have the same problem. Not sure what it is. It's not as noticable when the top is down but when the top is up, it is annoying as hell.
