2005 MCS convertible, 47000 miles...

The top squeals while going up/down. I thought it only squealed on hot days, but apparently it's doing it just about all the time.

May be this is a warning... or indication of something about to happen? Like cable breaking or pump failing or something?

Is there a procedure of lubricating it?

Any comment/help appreciated.. thanks.

 

Mine has squealed since day 1, to no apparent ill effect. It seems to be just rubber sliding against rubber.

I hesitate to do anything to the rubber as it would seem likely to cause it to degrade faster.

 

Mine squeals, too. More if I leave it down ovenight (in garage). I don't think it is a sign of anything bad.

 

Mine Squeels too. Just enough to be annoying. It has been to the dealer for other issues, and they never raised a concern.

 

Mines squeals too louder if left down longer. I brought to dealership to have them lube it at $120/hr and didnt change anything.

 

Same here for the past 4 years. I give it a shot of Liquid Wrench Dry Lube on the scissor joints once in a while. Seems to quite thing down a little but not much. The only other lube that I would consider for that type of application would be Lubriplate.

 

Mine is named 'Squeal-LORD'

 

I hear the squeal when the car is cool. On hot days no squeal.

 

my girfriend squealed in mine does that count.......lol
