Squeaking extended top
I have a CC Precedent with an extended Custom GC Supply top. I am about to go insane from the constant squeaking! I would like to ditch the top and go to the factory molded top, but the wife likes the extended top so the rear flip seat is covered. I have tried putting gasket material between the vertical posts and the top frame, I have put on nylon washers, sprayed with lubricant and nothing works. Any ideas on what I can do to fix this? My next step is to try drilling out all the rivets that hold the top to the frame and replace them with bolts.

Re: Squeaking extended top
Can you pinpoint where the squeeks are comming from? I would have thought the nylon washers would have done the trick. How thick are the washers?

Re: Squeaking extended top
It seems to be in multiple locations. The washers I used were about a 1/6" thick. I sent an email to Custom GC Supply this morning via their contact button. I received a response very quickly. They recommend "... removing the rivets and replacing with sheet metal screws. Once the rivets are removed, I would also put a foam tape between the railing and top skin before reassembling. One other place that might cause squeaking is between the aluminum bracket and the top railing."
Looks like I have some work to do. |

Re: Squeaking extended top
I thought my top was squeaking and it drove me nuts too. When I removed the top, the squeak went away. So I installed nylon washers but that did nothing. It turned out to be the support poles. I moved the nylon washers to the bolts that hold the top frame together, and the squeak was gone. Maybe that could work?
