I've got a couple of squeaking noises that seem to come from the convertible roof frame whilst driving, just over the rear seating area.
When the roof is stowed the noises stop
Are there any usual suspect mechanical joints/pivot points in the roof frame that are known to need attention / lubricating ?

Thanks
 
Could the squeaks be coming from the rubber seals if it only happens with the roof up?
 
Dress all seals with Gummi Pfledge, and lube and joints you can with a silicon spray (use the little red tube to only get it where you want it)
 
As has been said Gummi Pflege (don't overload it, just a smear every so often, takes a few goes to work) it lube the pins, warm weather, and radio help.

This is going to sound a bit OTT, but my roof squeaks (and other rattles) quietened down considerably once all the shocks were replaced.
 
I looked at dropping the head liner to expose more of the metal roof frame for inspection, but it didn't seem easy.
A quick google didn't turn up any instructions, does any one have a link to show me how ?
