My 1999 C5 removable top is squeaking. If I apply a little bit of pressure to the handle on the drivers side the noise stops. Is there a way to tighten this top??? I appreciate your help! Thanks.

 

Several ways actually:

-You can grease the weatherstrips with diaelectric grease

-You can adjust the roof:
