GP is on order - will do the seals first and see how it does before I use the oil.

Assuming this is a serious question dporto, (cause you can be a snot nosed jack ***), Einszett gummy pflege on the rubber weather stripping and weapon shield lubricant (used on firearms) for the metal joints on the top frame.

Coverage and how to read this overview
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.

Not so sure about this the control arms. I have a set of brand new control arms.
I have 2002 C4 Cab.
Fighting the same problem. Drives me nuts when going over potholes.
My mechanic thinks it may be the cabriolet mechanism that is making squeaks. Mine is coming from behind on the left side.
Same sort of problem, 03 C 2 Cab, 38,000 miles, creaky sounds....usually on driveways, speed bumps etc....sounds like it's coming from the top mechanism...
I had many squeaks and rattles from the top on my 2002 C2 cabriolet. I opened the top to the service position and then proceeded to lubricate every point that rotates. Then I used a proper rubber seal conditioner and rubbed down every piece of visible rubber on the top mechanism and the meeting points on the body including the movable hard cover. Took a few goes at it but the top is quiet finally. I never had noise from the suspension, at least not yet!
Never used that particular product but it looks good. Anything designed specifically for rubber seems a better idea than just putting on WD40 or silicone.
No real instructions other than listen for squeaks inside with the top closed and spend a little more time on those areas to make sure you reach all points of movement to lubricate them.
Don't write this off you cab guys as silly. Drive your car over all those spots where squeaks and rattles occur with the top down, you may be surprised that they disappear when the top is down. Then put top up and repeat, they most likely will reappear. Then condition the rubber seals on the clam shell where they rest on the car, and condition the rubber seals where the top meets the top of the front window. Also the window seals on the top where the windows meet when closed. Then drive it again over those spots, TA DA noises gone. If not, you got bigger problems.
When those seals dry out and become grippy, they squeak as they slide when the car frame twists. Kinda like sneakers on a waxed floor. I figured this out years ago. I do this every 4 months here in Florida, or when the squeaks start. Before then I always thought it was the suspension. Amazing how much it sounds like suspension noise. Logic just tells you it should be suspension, of course, for some it may be.
For good measure, lubricate all the connection points in the top mechanics. Not the cause of the squeaks, but need lube none the less
Last year I had an annoying squeak from the top of the A pillar in my '02 Cab. While driving, I discovered that with the top up I could press down on the top at the A pillar, and the noise would go away. It turned out that there was a missing piece of plastic where the cab top engages with the A pillar. I replaced the missing part and the squeak was gone!

Awwwww rolli, that's not nice
! I think you can put your gummi pflege where the sun don't shine!
As for the original question... 14 posts on "why is my car squeaking" is a little over the top IMO - especially considering a forum search or even a web search for that matter would result in mostly the same answers gotten by starting a new thread here...
"

Who's a "snot nosed jackass" now, fuknard? Your name wouldn't happen to be Dick would it? I'd bet it is! If not, it should be...
Ohmygawd, you're a LawnGuylander. Explains everything.
Hangin' out in the strip mall parkin' lot this weekend in the Pooooorsh?
Bet that Poooorsh looks good in the section 8 parking garage.
Cool Brah!
OK, I’m following this closely and ordered some gummy pflege for the rubber. Would 3 in 1 oil work for the lubrication points? I’m looking forward to working on this as my top is extremely squeaky on our crappy bumpy roads. But when the top is down, tight and squeak-free.

When top is down you won't hear most squeaks from road noise.
You may hear different kinds of squeaks coming from the folded top mechanism. At least that is what I hear.
Gummy Pflege from Einszett is just 1 of many weather stripping conditioners, and a good one, the one I use. I use all 1Z Einszett products, which FYI has changed name to Nextzett. Same stuff new brand name.
3 in 1 should do it, better than nothing. I use weapon shield cause it bonds to the metal and stays put. Probably would use something else if I didn't already have it for my firearms.
When you do this, do 1 at a time, just the GF on the rubber bits then drive it and see if the issue is gone. Then the 3 in 1 on frame joints. If you do both at once you won't known which one solved your issue.
Great - thank you rolex - this is exactly the information that I was looking for. GP is on order - will do the seals first and see how it does before I use the oil. Will post an update when done. Hopefully this will also help my hardtop when I put that back on - it squeaks as bad as the soft top.
Daryll
Got my Gummi Pflege and used it on all the rubber parts of the top. I would say that it made about a 50% difference - tomorrow I will go over all the rubber again and see if it gets any better. Also now I can identify better the potential metal squeaks - once I drive it with a second Gummi Pflege application then I will start with the 3 in 1 oil on the folding bits. But based on the first application it seems like I'm on the right track.
My car was a one-owner car and well maintained until about two years ago - it was purchased by a dealer for a personal driver, but he only put 500 miles on it in a year and a half. So lots of little things have needed done in the six months that I have owned it. So far so good. Your info helped a lot.
