Default Creaking noise from hardtop

New owner here, 1999 with low miles. When driving slowly especially while turning or negotiating small bumps in the road, the top creaks noisily. At normal road speed it is quiet. When it is creaking I can feel movement between the top and windshield header. It feels like clamp on the header needs to pull down tighter but don't see any adjustment. Any ideas? Bob

I know that the rear connection points are adjustable, not sure about the front. People have said that silicone lubricant on the rubber pieces helps reduce the noise but I haven't tried it. I'm used to the creaking. You shouldn't be able to feel movement.
