More details on the noise, please.... type of sound, when exactly does it happen, etc...

the type of sound is like the plastic crunching specially whne the car makes a torsion movement

So it sounds like plastic crunching when the car twists? And you indicate "hard top" (vs. "soft") above - there have been several prior posts about the attachment hardware for the rear of the hard top... see for example:

Well I've already done that stuff above that you gave me before, but its still making the noise.. any other reasons?

Bough a used hardtop. Squeeked like hell. Lubricated all the rubbers. Still squeeked like hell. Adjusted the complete system and made it more loose / float on the car. Now it is perfect.

Dig into some www.ppbb.com archives for hardtop adjustments...

Thanks
