Hello there! I am new here, found this site when googling help with peugeot 206cc's.

One of my roof clips is sooo noisey! :trumpet: It makes a constant sqeaky irritating rattle over every vibration in the road (and there are many)...I know that there is some sort of oil I could buy but haven't a clue what the name is and where/which part of the roof to apply it?

Can anyone help? I'm not sure if I should apply the oil when the roof is down and up etc, or what oil I should use? Has anyone tried good old fashioned WD40 with this problem?

I totally refuse to go to a peugeot dealership as they are just money grabbers.

Hi KTM and welcome to the forum.
Don't know how old your car is. If the clip is tight enough then maybe a spray of silicon grease would quieten it down. However, if it has worked loose it may need a tweak of the Torx screw to tighten it a little first.
Try silicon spray first. I'd apply it (just a little while the roof is up). WD40 may help temporarily even though really it is a water repellant.
Care! - Don't get silicon spray in your eyes!!!
Let us know how you get on.
Regards, Ron

Hi Ron!

Thank you for your advise! Will buy some spray silicone today and give it a whirl. My cc is a 4 yrs old (53 plate) cc allure, in black. The roof has probably been sqeaking for a year or two but has definitely worsened in the last few months. Fingers crossed it will do the trick!

Will let you know how I got on.

did mine this morning,

so far so good,

took the torx screws out(never liked them)
and replaced them with allen key type screws.
added a little threadlock and screwed them in nice and tight...

resulting in no more squeak
