Default Noisy squeaky targa top

Anyone have any ideas on how to get rid of the noise?


Low oil light keeps coming on, even though the oil level is fine, sometimes.

Anyone have any ideas on this?

Hmmm can you be more specific about the noisy top?

On the oil level light, first check to make sure the sensor is connected. It is located on the drivers side of the oil pan. Mine came disconnected some how drove me nuts for a couple days until I looked under there and saw it hanging loose.

If that is not it then might need to start troubleshooting from the sensor. Any codes?

CHANGED THE OIL AND IT WAS PLUGGED IN, NO CODES CAME UP. I GUESS I'M BEING TEDIUOS, HOWEVER IT'S NOT ON ALL THE TIME. THE SQWEEKING, WHEN I DRIVE THE CAR THE TARGA TOP MAKES NOISE LIKE IT'S NOT TIGHTEND EVEN THOU I TIGHTEND @#&* OUT OF IT, THIS HAPPEN'S WHEN THE VEHICLE PICK'S UP ROUGHNESS FROM THE ROAD. OFF THE SUBJECT, THIS IS MY SECOND VETTE AND I'LL TRY TO GET A PIC. FOR YOU. IT'S NICE TO BE IN THE CORVETTE WORLD ESPECIALLY WHEN YOUR DRIVING AND WHEN EVER I SEE A VETTE DRIVER I ALLWAY'S GET OR GIVE A THUMB'S UP. COMING TO YOU FROM I.E. AREA, HIT MY BACK. THANKS, "DUDER"

On the light its normal not to be all the time. The reason is, and at the moment I can't quote the exact parameters, but it must come up to one temp, shut off, the up above a temp parameter again before it sets the annunciation. I would go back to the sender unit and verify the connection as well as the wires into the connector.

If the sound your hearing is something similar to something major loose in the windshield pillar then good luck on that one. I've been chasing the same one in the passenger side. I even had the entire dash out and upper trim when I replaced the heater core made sure everything was tight and nothing could rattle but it still does it. And it only does it when its cool to cold outside and I hit a certain frequency of bumps in the road.
