The tops squeek for two reasons:
1. The metal to metal interface between the retractable 'hooks' and the 'pegs' mounted to the top need isolation or lubrication. I use a small piece of heat shrink over the 'pegs', lube is too messy. Some use small thin pieces of plastic/rubber/vinyl tubing, but it has to be thin wall material for the hooks to engage the pegs. 2. The rear top seal is rubber to metal, where as the original has a felt liner to isolate the surfaces. The cheap repro rear seals don't have the felt and they squeek, be sure your seal has a felt isolator in good condition. |
