Default Hard Top Creaking

Hello everyone

Just had a quick search but could not find an exact answer, since putting on my hard top i get awful creaking when the car is in motion, it's like the top and bodywork are rubbing, i have taken it off and re put on but it's still the same.

Anyone got this problem or know what it might be? I'm thinking of taking it off as it's doing my head in.

Ta

I've had this too, and the general concensus seems to be to get some silicon grease and spray it all around the rubber seals of the hard top before it goes on the car.

I did this at the weekend and it's helped, but I'm still getting a few noises - I think I need to be a bit more liberal with the stuff!!

I had the same with mine, but once the silicon spray was applied the problem was solved.
