Default Transparent top squeek???
Does anyone else get a squeek with there top as they drive? It gets quite annoying after a while. Most of the time I just take it off so I dont have to hear it. Any ideas how to fix this problem? Thanks in advance!!

Always look at the C6 FAQ first. Known Issues - Squeaky Roof. Here's a link.

In back or on top...I do get a squeak when it is "locked" down in the back...I turn up the radio so I can't hear it.

It's not too bad though.

I first took the top off and used a torx wrench to unscrew the front 2 metal latches. I then applied dielectric grease at all the moving parts and areas of contact on both the top and fittings on the car. The squeaks/rattles are now gone

I read one thread that suggested a light coat of silicon grease along the seals will do the trick.
