Default C7 targa top noise?

So I have 3k on my c7 and it's been making noises for about 200 miles now. Has anyone having the same issue?

Had mine on and off a few times, low miles, but no issues yet.

Default Warning

A forum member suggested I use Teflon spray to stop the noise on mine. All it did was stain the rubber gasket. Still have the creeking sound

I have the same issue. Didn't have it at first, but she has about 1,000 miles on her now and it creaks under brisk cornering. Any advice would be appreciated!

This has been reported and discussed here. I wish I could provide the link but try searching for roof noise. Some remedies have been posted. It's an issue that plagued many C6s. Sure you'll find what I'm referring to.

I'm taking it to the dealer Thursday so I'll let you guys know what they say. I'm just worried they try to pull a fast one and say it's because I added a supercharger (which has nothing to do with me targa top) and all this after market stuff. Let's see what happens...

In some of the discussions on this, some owners are reporting good luck with tightening the rear latch by one turn, to snug the rear of the top down a bit more.

There is a thread in the C7 gen section about it, with pics and explanation.
