Squeaky HTC??

Have a goofy issue that is just annoying. On my 2022 HTC 3LT when I am driving with the top up every time I hit a bump I hear a squeak coming just above my head and behind me. It seems like when I hit a bump the body flexes and the top is squeaking where the top meets the tonneau cover- at least it seems to be where it is coming from. With the top down I hear nothing. I admit 80% of the time the top is down so I hadn't noticed this...but lately as I have had the top up and the AC on I hear it.

Any ideas? Anyone had this issue and solved it? TIA!

Yep. Just did a little more searching. Came up with this. Grease is now ordered.

I had the same squeak in my 22 HTC. I pretty much eliminated it by running a strip of teflon tape along the upper edge of the rear window.

On the glass itself? Sorry if that is a dumb question. Just wanted to be clear.

Yes on the glass. I centered the tape along the entire width of very top edge of the window and folded the excess over on to the vertical surfaces on both side of the window.

Any chance you have a link on Amazon to the tape you used?
