Irritating chirping near my ear (roadster)

[BingoBob]

And no, it's not my wife.

But when I go over a little imperfection in the road, something near my right ear chirps, like rubber rubbing on rubber (say that 10 times fast).

Or rather like a plimsoll on a squash court.

I thought it might be the door windows rubbing the roof rubber, but I opened the door slightly while driving and it didn't make any difference, so it must be coming from the roof mechanism somewhere. Or possibly the back of the seat, but it doesn't seem to be related to my body position.

Anyone had this?

Had it on my last roadster dry seals under the cover

Ah ha! Did you find a solution for it? Where are these seals exactly?

I have heard of a product for noisy rubber, but I can't remember it. Maybe it'll come back to me.

Gummi-Pflege. This stuff:



Never tried it though.

Dealer sorted it under warranty
On my Honda you could buy Shinetsu grease which you rubbed a VERY small amount in to the rubber seal
It turned out to be clear silicon grease which Halfords sell for about a fiver
