Default Squeaky top frame

My top frame squeaks when driving over small bumps. What is the best lube for the joints?

The TSB calls for white lithium grease https://www.s2ki.com/stor/library/TSB/a03-023.pdf. Be careful with overspray, it will dissolve plastic (ask me how I know).

Try this one

I'm not sure about vinyl, but I tried using some on the soft top latches and it ate away the plastic mechanism.

Any automotive store will have spray lithium grease, and probably most hardware stores. Just spread out a towel behind each hinge before you grease it. Then I sort of cup the towel around the little red straw to spray and the hinge. Wipe up any excess. Once a year and your good to go.
