Default Dashboard clanking

I've noticed for a while that there is a really bad clanking sound coming from inside the dash.It sounds like some bit of metal is loose and it's bashing against something else. Anyway that combined with creaking between the roof and the windscreen surround, makes the car sound like an old banger (what we brits call a wreck)! Unfortunately the dealer won't be able to do anything until September as the whole of France goes on holiday until August

Default someone found

that the tool used to manually put up the top if the motor breaks, was causing some noise. the tool is located on the drivers side.

just a guess!
