Default 92 Glass Top Issues

Hey Guys,

Just got a 92 Polo Green C4 (already have a 99 C5) and had a question about my glass top.

When I first got it, the top never made any noise at all. Have taken it off several times but after the last time the glass portion that connects with the front windshield squeaks like crazy, no matter how many times I take it off and try to adjust it.

Did put silicone on the rubber seals (several times) but, still squeaks. (The seals are in good condition)

Would rather not fork over the money for a colored hard top.

Any suggestions on how to get rid of the noise?

Thanks,

gee... the 1992's were the first with the anti-squeak pads, unless those have come off or so dried up, I am at a loss.

Yea, doing the silicone is a great way to stop the squeak...

I think Scoob had an adjustment process posted a while ago. I used it and it quieted things down alot. I can't seem to find it using the search. Perhaps he'll chime in.

Exactly where are these anti-squeak pads located? Are they foam or rubber?

Thanks everyone,

I didn't know that 92 vettes had anti-squeak pads. Does anyone know where they are located and if there are foam or rubber?

I tried looking on the Ecklers website and I can't seem to find anything
like them, would anyone know where I could get them?

Thanks Again!
