Default Ok, now I understand what you guys are talking about....

Have had my C6 since this past June and now just started to notice the little squeaks that come from the removable top.
Just had this delivered to the house today to solve the issue based on all the threads here. Thanks folks - Will get to it later this week.

Thanks - car is a garage queen so a wipe down with armor all works fine.

After coating mine in dielectric grease and wiping the weatherstips down with Adams VHT, my popping actually became worse. I ended up doing the 5/32 e-clips that I read about on here and that fixed 95% of the creaking.

Default Noisy roof

Lubing helps, but I found that adjusting the rear latch makes a big difference, also.
Good luck and save the wave!

Or the o-ring add ons will help it also.

E-clips were the only thing that worked on my top. Everything else was good for a day and then it squeaked anyway. E-clips stopped it from squeaking for over 4 years.
