Convertible Top Squeaks.....Help!!!!
Okay, I know I am the proud owner of a notoriously flexible car that is famous for squeaks and rattles. However I have one squeak that is driving me insane.Let me start off by saying that I have only had the car on the road for a week. I have noticed a very loud squeak comming from the passenger side Lockdown when the roof is up. I have checked everything I could see as far as fasteners are concerned and they are all tight. I have noticed that the pass side lock is very easy to latch compared to the drivers side that has some resistance. Has anyone had/have this problem and could ayone think of a possible cure?I guess I could just turn up the radio but its the crappy OEM radio with the original "tired" speakers that distort very easily, almost as bad as the squeak

This may sound strange, but check your Passwnger Visor. I just replaced the hinge on mine and noticed that the original one had some black, foamy stuff on it.. After a couple of day I now know what it was for... It was rubbing the metal above the hinge, so I stuck a small peice of weatherstripping. Problem solved...

If I remember you can put shims under the latch/handle assembly, thus allowing a tighter grip when the top is up and latch engaged.
