T-top "creaking" noise
When I hit bumps, both my tops intermittently make a "creaking" noise. Not a rattling or squeaking noise, but rather like plastic rubbing, not quite sure how to describe it.
I greased the weather stripping and have pulled one top apart to check for grease on the moving parts and make sure everything is tight. I've also looked at adjusting the "holes" where the tops latch into but they only adjust in and out by loosing the 2 bolts.
I'm out of ideas. What am I missing?

subframe connectors should help with this(helped with mine) ....
though when you start getting too extreme w/suspension you begin making more noises so eventually you have to learn to ignore them all <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" /> (I hear every part of my suspension... loud radio fixes)

Re: T-top "creaking" noise
Thanks, but I finally found it!!
It turns out it was the area where the tops latch into. I sprayed silicone grease on the ttop latch and into the hole where thy latch into, creaks are now gone! Nice and quiet. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />
