its really annoying when I'm driving and the t-tops squeak. any easy ways to fix this? do I just need new weatherstripping?

 

Do you mean that the T-tops shift and squeak while you are moving? Maybe you could use some Silicone spray to moisten the rubber, to reduce the squeaking, but not a permanent fix. Good luck.

 

You can try adjust the t-tops, maybe lower where the pins go in a little.

You probably need weld in subframe connectors. The body is twisting make them squeak. I can highly recommend the ones from Global West; I've put them on a couple of cars and they work great.

I had the same problem and it fixed it.

 

sorry to hi-jack but..

lo-tec, i did a quick google search and global west sfc because im in the market for a good set and it appears they only have bolt ons, ive heard that weld ons are the way to go?

 

Weld-ons are the only way to go. Welded front and rear and stitch welded down the sides.

Theirs are weld on.

I was going to suggest SFC's.. I will either tottaly eliminate the squeaking , or almost, at least. Weld in is the only way to go, the holes in the bolt on ones will eventually wallow out, and the weld-in's will stiffen the car more than the bolt-is will. You will be happier with the way the car handles and feels on the road. Not so much "Cowl-shimmy".

 

im a little confused. im pretty sure it is the bolt that is squeaking. and what exactly are weld-ons? where do they go?
