Quote Squeaks in convertible tops can be quite annoying, but there are a few steps you can take to address the issue: Lubricate the Seals: Use a silicone-based lubricant on the rubber seals around the convertible top. This can help reduce friction and eliminate squeaks. Check for Loose Parts: Inspect the convertible top mechanism for any loose or worn parts. Tighten any loose screws or bolts you find. Clean the Seals: Dirt and debris can cause squeaking. Clean the seals with a mild soap and water solution, then dry them thoroughly before applying lubricant1. Adjust the Top: Sometimes, the top may need minor adjustments to ensure it fits snugly. This might require a visit to a professional if you’re not comfortable doing it yourself. Inspect for Obstructions: Make sure there are no obstructions in the roof mechanism that could be causing the noise. If these steps don’t resolve the issue, it might be worth consulting a professional mechanic who specializes in convertible tops. They can provide a more thorough inspection and repair if needed. Have you tried any of these steps before? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
