T-Top Squeak/Rubbing Noise

**regerror6** · 09-19-2008, 04:21 AM

I've noticed a squeak/rubbing noise coming from my T-Tops when I am going 40+ mph. I gave it a thorough cleaning, but it persists. Anyone else ever have this issue, and how did you fix?

do you have t-top shades on the tops right now??

**regerror6** · 09-19-2008, 05:32 AM

Nope. The shades are out.

the point on the pillars where the pins fit in when the tops or locked,......they screw in , could they be loose????

Do you have SFC's? I have heard that this will stop the majority of squeeks in our cars.

I still need to get some.

Cool. I'll check the screws.

I don't have SFCs either. I may check into those, too.

i have SFC and my tops dont make any noise

Easiest fix.....................take the tops out. That's the whole point of them right???

**regerror6** · 09-19-2008, 12:28 PM

Hahaha. Touché sir.

My tops would make noises and rattle too but everything stopped after I put in my UMI 2pt weld-in SFCs.

I sprayed some silicone in the holes where the silver pins go in and mine stopped squeaking.

Weld-in FTW. Take it to someone you trust to do it right though.

I've had welded SFC's for a long time now and just rececently developed a rattle in the ttop. I think its actually inside the latch/locking mechanizm so i'm gonna rip it apart in the coming winter and mess with it to see if i can fix it.
