Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.
3 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.
0 evidence records excluded for query context · 0 excluded by outcome qualification · 0 adjusted by outcome qualification.
0 acknowledgements have no verified action link; they do not establish a repair result.

So put the hard top on this morning (and the sun decides to pop out) and the rattles and squeaks are already driving me nuts (until I upgrade the stereo) Any tips on quietening the hardtop rattles? Some of the squeaks sound like the rubber on the hard top rubbing against the paintwork
yep, take it off.
On mine its mostly where the seal meets the body and a little "rubber grease" (i think its some sort of silicone so as not to damage the rubber) seems to work, but I cant find the tube to tell you exactly... I'm sure others will know.
This is a source reference. Confirm exact model applicability in the original material.
