t-top noise

i've had my 2001 z28 for 3 weeks now and there is an annoying noise coming from the passenger side t-top. i thought it was the forward pin rubbing on the plastic a-pillar. so i pulled the a-pillar and screwed it back so it was correctly centered on the pin bracket.

no joy in elimanating the squeek!!

suggestions on what to try next??

thanks!

i have the same problem.. everytime I turn or go over any bump with just one side of my car, like a speed bump or something. Its makes a crackle noise. Mine soounds like it coming from inside the t-top itself thought

I have the same problem. If you squeeze near the keyhole it "crackles" the worst. I took it apart but could not figure out where it was coming from. I hope someone finds an answer to this annoying problem.

It's the frame of the car moving around the t-top that is causing the bad noise. Next time you go over a speed bump or dip or whatever put your finger in the gap between the t-top and the a-pillar. You should feel the t-top move.

Mine used to make noise. When I put the UMI 3-point bolt-in sub-frames, they don't make noise anymore because the frame is a lot stiffer now.
