Default Creaky Beetle Cabriolet

Hi there

Want some advice please/or to hear from someone else with the same problem...

Wife's got a Bug Cabriolet (MY03) and the area above the front windscreen (where the roof locks down) creaks like buggery, across the whole width really, but more so at the edges. Been in once and not fixed properly. Something must be coming loose somewhere, but the engineers don't seem to be able to find it.

Anyone else got one of these that does the same thing?

Cheers....

HAd one when they first came out. Mine creaked too. I use to use vasaline around the rubbers to keep them supple.
