Default Squeak Squeak

Went out with the top down today and noticed a very annoying squeak coming from behind me, never heard it before. Put the top up and it's still there but not as loud.

Any ideas before I go mad?

Thanks

Check the spare tyre. The bolt holding it down can sometimes come loose causing a squeak.

I know this is weird but the drivers seat belt can make a noise rubbing on the leather of the seat. Is it that?

No it sounds more like some of the fixtures and fittings behind somewhere, friggin annoying, I am one of those people that won't be able to rest until I find it.

Only heard it today and already pi**ing me off!

OK - white lithium grease on the joints of the roof frame is a good starting point!
