Subject:westy luggage rattle, very annoying

hey all,
i have this very annoying rattle with the luggage rack part of my poptop on
my westy. when speeds get up to 60+ and add some wind to that, the very
front of the rack begins to rattle very obnoxiously.  the seals are new, but
between the two front mounting screws there is a lot of give where the
fiberglass meets the car. i can pull it up and look underneath it. anyway,
wind goes up through there and causes it to vibrate. I CAN'T TAKE IT
ANYMORE!! anyone ever experience this? what can be done? the screws are
tightened down and like i said the seals are new but there is just too much
room and flex in the front of the rack to allow wind to squeeze in and ruin
my beautiful highway drive. incidently, turning up jerry doesn't cover up
the hideous rattle.
oh woe is me
