'99 Cab, found the rear squeak....

After weeks of an annoying squeak, I took some time this past weekend to go deeper into the cab to find the problem. Thanks Loren for the documents. I did not have to remove the rear trim. I took out the windstop catch and found the felt was smashed to nothing, and replaced it with same. No change.

I then noticed the small wings of canvas that fold up and down on each side of the top were separate pieces, plastic, with canvas over them. On the driver's side, I can move the piece when the top is closed or half open. When I move it, I get the squeak. So I peak down inside the cavity to see a small white nylon bushing of sorts, on a metal rod, with a spring. A spray of teflon rids me of the problem.

For two days, at least. :(

So now I'm puzzled. I know that is the spot, but I am uncertain if I should consider gummi or some other grease, or try to work with a spray/liquid product further.

Any thoughts/comments?

Thanks!
