Default B Pillar squeak on convertible 2001 with top down

I noticed service bulletin:

"#01-08-67-003
Squeak From Rear of Convertible Top (Replace Protector Assembly)

1998-2001 Chevrolet Corvette

Condition: Some customers may comment on a squeak coming from the rear of the convertible top.

Cause: This condition may be caused by interference between the fifth bow seal and the tonneau cover rub strip. (Refer to the illustration above).

Correction:
1. Remove the old seal.
2. Remove any two way tape from the body.
3. Clean the surface.
Install a new front top stow compartment lid protector assembly.
Parts Information: Part Number 10313384, Front Top Stow Compartment Lid Protector Assy. Parts are currently available at GMSPO. "

The above would seem to apply if the squeak occurred with the top up.

My squeak occurs with the top down and is in the driver's side b pillar.Occurs 100 percent of time with top down .

Any one have this experience? And what corrected this issue?

And a cat will not correct it--I have several.

The only squeak I used to have with my '01 vert was the latch rubbing on the cover lid when down. I put a small towel over each latch when I put top down and that stop it. Don't know it that's the same problem you have or not but stopped mine.

I think you posted in the wrong thread. This one's 8 years old, and unrelated to your comment.
