We purchased a 75 2.0 yesterday but the roof squeaks going over bumps.

Is this normal?

Is there a cure?

All new rubber front/windshield and top of "roll-bar".

Thanks, Will

Another squeak spot is the rubber blocks on the Targa that rest in the latches

Little bit of Teflon tape, which I had also put on the recess for the rubber blocks. A little dab of lube should do to isolate it....
