Top squeak while it's down (is this common)?

[ScottinHouston]

Our new to us, 2023 with 9k miles, is awesome, but I've noticed a minor but slightly annoying issue when the top is down.
It's "winter" in Hosuton, so this is prime top down time!
When it's down, behind the driver, there is a squeak that sounds like rubber on plastic or plastic on plastic type of sound. I've tried wiping down a few rubber areas but have not found the fix, so curious if this is a common issue with a common fix? Or am I going to have to continue trial & error approaches?

Otherwise, huge fan of this car. Pic to show it off.

A few times a year I go around the whole car and put some of this on each rubber of the doors, hood and other parts.

Most off the squeaks you hear are from shampoo, washing the car with shampoo with wax in it.

Good idea. I need to find the U.S. version of this.

I have a noticeable chirp which I believe is from the active flap in the exhaust. Maybe that might be your cause too. Only audible with roof down or window open. Running the car in sport mode stops it. Mine is due for a service in March so I'll ask them to fix it then.

Interesting. I'll have to confirm, but I'm 80% the sound is with the top being in the down position because I can get it to stop by starting to raise the top. Just seconds into the to raising process, the squeak goes away.
