I have a similar problem every autumn as well. My top fits OK, but I've learned that I need to lubricate all the rubber seal parts to stop the squeeking as the body of the car flexes. That includes the rubber seals on the window frames of the hardtop. My windows seem to make the most noise when taking a bump. I use a product called "black magic". It's not really a lubricant, but a thick and slippery silicone based plastic and rubber "dressing". It goes on thick and gets absorbed into the rubber; wipe off any excess. I suppose you could use any lubricant which doesn't dry out or "eat" rubber. Perhaps somebody actully makes a product for this very purpose.
