Default a squeaky noise when i go over bumps on the road

so every time i go over harsh sf roads or dips i get a squeaky noise coming from behind me to the right. i think its my convertible top making that noise and its pretty consistent. is there a way to remedy this or do i have to take in somewhere to get that fixed?

Check your spare tire, it might not be clamped down enough causing it to squeak.

This is what I had. After a track day the noise went away.

I think I know what your talking about, but mine is very faint. It happens when I hit the small bumps in the road but not the big ones.

I didn't notice this until I went with an aftermarket suspension though.

squeeks compared to clunking is different lol.
my softtop in my car squeeks because of the hinges. my drivers rear used to clunk but it decided to stop being a butt

The hood latch is the source of many weird squeeks, believe it or not.
