haven't driven my teener with the top on it in some time. i forgot that the top squeaks a bit from the passenger's rear corner when going over bumps. this is obviously from body flex. however, you can jump up and down on the seat while rolling up the window and it doesn't hang up.

I used shrink tubing on the latches...nice and tight and quiet now... Ahh, but the additional "latching" torque will put undue compression on the rear roof seal, as well as the side window seal (though more at the rear). Won't this eventually cause those "stressed" seals to "go south"? The word is glycerine - that's the same stuff that is in hemmi suppositories & readily available at your local pharmacy. Works too!
