Default Clear top squeeks

I'm new to the clear top, and is it normal for them to squeek so much?

Mine sure did. MidAmerica has kit to kill the squeak. It's cheap and
did the job.

Do you have it adjusted properly for your car?

Is it an aftermarket top or an original GM?

GM I believe. And when you say adjusted properly what do you mean? I adjusted the top hardware so it would fit the car. Seems to bolt on with no problems, it just squeeks.
