I know I cannot be only one that the roof makes a creaking noise. What lube do people use to stop this .
It was a silicone based lubricant. I don't remember the name now. I will check tomorrow in the garage to see if I still have some left.What kind of lubricant do you use?
Thank you for the brake advise.
I have seen this video, and asked for the part number at a GM dealership and they told it didn’t exist. Instead gave me a white paste that got all over the place and dried to a white powdery mess. It did nothing for the squeaky top. Now I always try to drive topless on sunny days. (The car is topless, I wear a shirt)
The roof on our 2005 was creaking even with all the rubbers lubed. I got the 5/32 E-clips, installed them and all is well.....so far. With two pair of needle nose pliers I installed the clips without having to remove the handle from the roof section. Thanks to those who came up with the cure. It sure was simple. The creaking could be aggravating if you drove on many rough roads.I know I cannot be only one that the roof makes a creaking noise. What lube do people use to stop this .
Scroll back up a ways and Joe299 posted pictures. The hardest part for me was lifting off the roof to work on it. I'm not as young as I used to be. We were out to a cruise night this evening and all is quiet. Thumbs up to Joe299.do you have a picture?
Dielectric grease works for me too.Dielectric grease is what i used on my C6. My C7 doesn't squeak or creak. The other cure many talk about is slipping a rubber o-ring over each of the pins. This snugs up the fit and eliminates the creaks as well.
