My '02 Z28 used to do that in very cold (winter) weather, but only until the interior warmed up a bit (using the heater). I never did anything about it since it wasn't an issue most of the time.
Having said that, I can't imagine it's very cold in PA right now, so your issue might be an actual problem. Have you ever checked to make sure that the brackets (car side) for each rod end of the t-tops are tight and adjusted properly? Over time, these brackets sometimes loosen and get pushed outward as the t-tops are removed and reinstalled. I think some folks have also complained about the key cylinder rattling within the t-top itself. I'm sure there might also be other sources of potential rattles which I've forgotten.
