Default squeaking top

like almost all coupe owners, my c6 suffers from a squeaking top. several of you have tightened the rear latch on the hatch by one turn and claim that this has helped along with crease and silicone.

can someone tell me how they adjusted the latch? i thought it my be a case of losening a bolt, turning the latch and retightening the bolt. there is no bolt. Help!!!!

thanks

The solution is not tightening but untightening and only the two front latches with a torx 40.

On the rear latch hook at the base of the hook loosen the set screw then the hook will turn. The set screw is a 5/64 allen head.
