Squeak squeak

stenkb · Jun 21, 2011

Anyone else have the squeaks?

My driver seat squeaks alot - I have added a silicon lube to the tracks and that helps for a few days but then it returns....

Also my rear suspension started squeaking really bad then stopped a few days later and occasionally squeaks now.

My seat certainly squeaks in my 1.5 Roadster, but I haven't noticed the suspension making any noise.

I get some squeaks from the front end when backing out of my driveway - nothing scary so I'm just planning to bring it up to them when I'm in for my annual in November.

My seat is quiet as a mouse. I've occasionally had a squeak from the back left corner of the hard top. My front right suspension makes a "chirp" noise on large bumps when it's cold out; I'm going to have them look at that during the annual.

I just got a hard top and had the tech install it while he was here. I noticed the squeak immediately and he lubed the seals along the hard top which helped a lot.

Good to know. Do you know what he used as the lube?

I can't remember what it was but I'll send him an e-mail and ask.

Unfortunately, that fix does not seem to have lasted very long in my case.

I find with my hardtop that the rear bolts have to be tightened just barely past finger tight. Too tight or too loose and it sqeaks.

Thanks! I'll try that. I didn't even think about loosening the bolts. Since I haven't even removed the hardtop yet, I expect it will be good practice. Besides, my passengers will certainly enjoy seeing the sun.
