i did a search but could come up with anything.

i do remember someone had a little magick trick to silence a squieky top.
i wrapped the little nipple with shrink-tubing, but most of the noise comes from the big rubber spacer that rubs against the backpart of the lock.

HELP!

it's driving me nuts ...
