Noob notices noise
Enjoying my new/first corvette. I had the one piece top on and noticed a noise. Don't know if this is common, (because of my lack of expierence). The top moans and creaks, like an old mans knees, when the road is uneven or their is a bump. Do I not have it seated right? The seals are all good with no wear. Is this common and I am being picky. Just wondering. If not, what am I doing wrong?

Remove the top and store it...no more groaning!
Does the noise go away when both windows are down? If so, you may need to adjust the windows and not the roof. Do a search here for steps to adjust windows.
The dealer has wx stripping lube, I use dielectric grease to keep the wx stripping soft and pliable. I haven't had a coupe for a while, but I think the latches on the front of the top are not adjustable, but I may be wrong. The latch on the center rear of the top is adjustable. You have to loosen a lock nut in order to adjust the latch. Your top may be latched too tight, or too loose.
