i did a search but could come up with anything.
i do remember someone had a little magick trick to silence a squieky top. i wrapped the little nipple with shrink-tubing, but most of the noise comes from the big rubber spacer that rubs against the backpart of the lock. HELP! it's driving me nuts ... (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/screwy.gif) Andy |

nope, it's not the roof rubbing, it's the rubber spacers that sit in the recess on the lock. they need to sit in there, if you move the top higher (by adding more seal), the top will be able to slide backwards, which is not good, espacially on the freeway at higher speeds. the rubber stops need to slide into the recess, unfortunately, the rubber on the metal "squeaks" like mad ... i have adjusted the lock as far down as it goes, i got it to clamp down pretty tight, but it's still making lots-o-noise ... i'll know later on my way home if the dry lube worked ...
