chirping noise from convertible top

[gcmlear]

Noticed lately , I get almost a continous bird like noise coming from trunk area with my top down. When I put it up it goes away, so must be something to do with the mechanizm when stored down, although I tried to duplicate the noise by moving it around. This is a 04, anybody have a similier problem , and if so how did you resolve it. many thanks

Hello,
I also have a 2004 convertible and thank God I don't have any squeaking or churping noise yet...I would not be able to stand the noise...sorry for your problem. You need to take it in to the dealer and ask them to let an experienced Corvette mechanic/technician adjust the top...it can be done...and its under warranty 3 year/36,000 miles. Also think about getting an extended warranty like I did. I got mine from warranty Direct for $1250 and extends mine quite a bit...I got a 7 year/60,000 mile policy no deductible, which actually adds 4 years and 24,000 extra miles to my present GM warranty...and Warranty Direct gives a list of things they don't cover so everything else is covered and thats a lot...
Keep us posted on what happens...

It might be the rub blocks on the roof that protect it when the toneau lid is down. Try putting a little silicon grease on them.

Good point...:BOW :L

...or it may be a baby bird that gets pizzed when the top is pulled down and uncovers him
