Default Creaking noise from hardtop

Like is says in the title, my top makes squeaking noises when driving over bumps or turning sharply at low speeds. I don't hear anything as I speed up but at low speeds I can feel movement between the top and the windshield header. It seems that the front latch needs to clamp harder but I can't spot any adjustment. Bob

I have the same in my boxster...which is why my C2 and all my other cars are coupes....the body of convertibles flex and there is nothing you can do about it. Maybe lubricate it but I would love a solution and haven't found one

Same here. I've tried silicone lube on the rubber seals - no help. There is a kit to convert my older lanyard-type rear fasteners to the newer screw-type fastener, but it's $1,000 so I decided to turn up the tunes and keep buying beer.
