someone on here mentioned a while back you could slightly bend the tabs the pins slide into for a more snug fit. You also might want to try silicone on your t-top seals. not armor all, straight silicone. Sub frame connectors are also supposed to help with this. Mine just started doing the same thing the other day, ill keep you posted as to my results.

You might take out the t-tops and check the molding that goes between the two to make sure its secure. Also, check the cable that goes up the glass and under the headliner. (Maybe there is a rub?)

Yea. There is an "H" channel screwed in to the center bar across the roof, which secure's the loose end of the T-Tops. You might just make sure that is secure and not moving around on you.

no idea what it is. took the liner out, took off the center t-bar, and held the wire harness. Still makes slight creaks going over bounces and stuff
