Miata soft-top clicking over small bumps

2024 Mazda MX-5 Miata Club, about 1,200 miles. Getting a repetitive click from around the roof/header area on rough pavement. Top seals look okay and it doesn't leak. Has anyone isolated a trim/latch/felt contact noise like this without replacing parts? Trying to diagnose before I book a shop.

I wouldn't throw parts yet. Write temp, speed, and in-gear vs coast when the 2024 Mazda MX-5 Miata does it — then decide on parts. You'll know quickly if you're on the wrong tree. Post the numbers (or the code) and people can get more specific. I already checked the easy fluid levels.

If it were in my driveway, move a coil or plug on the 2024 Mazda MX-5 Miata if it's cylinder-specific and see whether the code follows. You'll know quickly if you're on the wrong tree. If you share a photo of the worksheet, easier to sanity-check. Parking it somewhere I can hear it better next time.
