Squeaking Top

My car came back from the shop after a 17K service. It's been squeaking inside. Like styrofoam rubbing together. I eventually traced it to the rear top. Pressing the rear window I can replicate the squeak.

I searched for a cure but really found none. A lot of notes of squeaks but no fixes.

I checked my shop manual suspecting it was a tension issue. I opened the top a couple inches and looked at the mechanism inside hoping to find a way to reduce the tension. I suspect it was the rubber seal of the top squeaking aginst the edge of the rear deck lid when closed. Nothing that looked like an adjuster.

Finally, out of graphite I rubbed some original Armour All on all the rubber seals. It seems to have stopped the squeaking.

Anyone else have tis problem. If so, how did you fix it?
