Do you really have a '13, or is that a typo? If a typo and you have a C7 there are lots of threads here about C7 top noises and the GM fix, along with others. All the best.

One suggestion is to check that the rubber grommets are around the pins in the front of the top (1 grommet for each pin).

One of mine slid off once and the top squeaked like an SOB until I replaced it

Tighten the rear latch 1 turn to pull everything tighter. There is a hidden allen? screw that must be loosened then rotate the hook 1 turn, check on a drive, adjust as necessary.
