New hardtop questions !!!

I recently got a deal on a black hardtop for my 986.

I got the hardware from sunset and I installed it over the weekend.

It looks great however I have 2 questions.

1. On un even pavement or turns the top is giving an annoying creaky sound. I'm sure this is to be expected however it is really frequent and annoying. Im not sure if it is creaking due to sheet metal or if it is from the rubber weather stripping on the sealing surface.

2. To ensure proper care of the weather stripping what kind of weather stripping protectant should I use. I have heard some stories of crappy products that end up reducing the life of the rubber rather than extending it. Could someone please recommend a product for the rubber weather stripping.

If there is any other insight into the creaking

Thank you in advance!

This may be a silly question and may well be answered elsewhere, where and how can I view this TSB?
