Can anyone suggest a fix for my hardtop woes - I have two REALLY annoying fidgety squeaks (well they are not really squeaks more of a fidgety plastic meets plastic or suchlike) from the general area of the back of the hardtop where the clamps tighten it onto the car.

It's not the actual clamps, and I have lubricated all the rubber edging of the hardtop, the things been off, on, off, on etc etc and it's now REALLY spoiling the driving experience - once you know they are they you seem to hone in on them all the time!!

HELP!!!

Try sticking some high-density foam washing-up pad thingies (can be bought from tesco for about a quid each) between the roll bar and roll bar cover. This eliminated all squeaking when I just had the soft top. The new hardtop doesn't squeak at all so this fix appears to work for both.
