The Zeintop does squeak and rattle a bit but not anything that bothers me too badly. Getting it to fit properly takes a bit of effort but once you have it shimmed right, it is easy to live with. It is fiberglass and you can hear that in the way that sound is reflected offo of the roof in the interior. Also the rubber seals around the windows cause a little wind noise and I don't think it is possible to make it go away but it it is not obnoxious.

I am totally thrilled with it, it has taken my car from ho-hum to bad ass and I really like that. The new look seems more fitting for the 3.6L.

I had a squeaky hard top on a previous car too. I used some de-icing spray on any of metal on metal contact points. no more noise and it lasted the winter.

That's a great top. It looks a little weird in some colors but I think yellow and black work well. Too bad I was on vaca when that one guy was selling his for $2K.
some lucky dude got a steal.
