How hard would it be to remove the headliner in my car? Would I be able to correct some of the various types of noises coming from it? Would I be able to access the frame and hinge assemblies?

Does anyone has pics of the underside of a top like mine with the headliner removed?

they sell some foam sealant in a can. just buy like 100 cans and foam up the inside of teh car. prob solved!

seriously though, i have nothing helpful to add to this thread, sorry kilgore. i would think you could look at a Haynes manual and read about vert top removal. then when the top is off, take a rubber mallot (seriously) and hit various points to see where the noise is comming from

posted about this before... mine rattles all over the place, not only where the hinges meet the top of the windshield... seems like it rattles at the elbow joints above me where the top bends while being put down... VERY ANNOYING.

The Haynes manual says right on the very first page:

Does not include information on convertible tops or cobra superchargers.

Easyest way to the top is taking off the rear panels and back seat. Once you do that the frame will be visible.
