Rattle from top front part (near latch/lock) center

There is an annoying rattle from the center front part of the soft top.



I removed the small plastic cover where the allen key to manually unlock the top goes and notice that it is loose inside. I'm guessing its the motor which controls the latches.



If I put my finger in there (ooh ooh :P ) and push/hold the part, the rattle stops.



Before saying that it needs replacement etc, I must say that the soft top is working perfectly and the latches lock and unlock as they are supposed to.



Is there a fix maybe ? Maybe something to do with the allen key ?



If not, can it be opened easily ? And has anyone else had this problem ?



Side note: I had a problem (now fixed) where one of the bows in the hood compartment (at the back) was leaking and the roof had a lot of difficulty opening and closing. I had used the allen key a few times when it wouldn't close. Maybe I messed up a setting ?



Aside from the rattle, everything works perfectly.
