T-Top squeak..

WTF! Its annoying as hell!

Why did it start squeaking? I noticed it started happening after i put my Bisteins in. Do I have to adjust my t-tops or what? Or will subframe connectors fix this?

It's prolly not that involved of an issue. Maybe a shot in the dark here but sounds like your T gaskets are dry. Gm makes a treatment for them I just use Blackmagic on them to keep them freash and moist..

Like in between the gaps? Where they seal?

Anywhere the gasket is in contact with the T panel or the door glass..

This happened to my buddies 3rd Gen...Armor All on all of the gaskets (edge of the actual t-top and the "U" in the roof) worked great.

Apply spray silicone to a shop rag and wipe down your seals. The application should be wet. Also good to do your door and hatch seals while you are at it. I think the GM stuff is a little pricey.

spray silicone in the holes where the t-top pins (not sure if that the correct name or not) go. That took care of my t-top squeaking.

I quit using armor all about 15 years ago when I discovered black magic lol. Black Magic last 10X as long as armor all, and can be used on nearly evrything in/on the car, plastic/rubber. Not so mention it smells 100x better too lol..Just do'nt use it on the steering wheel.
