Creaky Noise When Roof Down

Had my roof down yesterday and today (the weather has been begging for it!) but have noticed a creaking noise that has only just appeared.

It seems to be coming from the drivers window and is doing my head in! has anyone else noticed this or know how it can be fixed?

Thanks!!

Hi
I assume you mean that there is a noise from the top of the windows....I had a similar problem and I cured it with lubricating alll the rubber with silicone lubricant.

Thanks Woody. Where did you buy your Silicon Lubricant from?

Hi
I bought the silicone grease from my local plumbers merchants...apparently plumbers use it on "push-fit" plastic fittings, like the ones you have under the sink.
It only cost a few pounds for a small tub and it works. I use it a couple of times a month because the rubber seals get dry and it also provides a better water tight seal....

Won't you dirty your cloths when you're getting in or out??
