They'll help you.

It probably is the top. It's relatively easy to fix.

welcome to the forum!

I applied Dielectric Grease to all contact points, rubber seals, pins, pin receiver holes and the noise disappeared. Both my roofs are now silent.
A bit of info I discovered on the Corvette Forum shortly after I purchased my 2009.
