We got a 2020 JLU back in January and the New England weather finally had a long stretch without rain over the weekend so we took the hardtop off (we've taken the freedom panels off many times, but this was the first time removing the entire top). Last evening I put the top back on and everything went smooth enough but I was worried about over-tightening the hardtop bolts, so I just hand tightened them the most I could. This morning the wife is complaining about the top sounds creaky. I know in our Renegade the MySky panels creak a bit for a day or two when the panels are put back on or during temperature swings (here went from 90 yesterday, to 60s last night).
So couple questions, does it take a day or two to "settle" or should I tighten them more using that tool? I know there's quick release thumb bolts available, is there ones people would recommend? I always get nervous trusting products on Amazon I've never heard of (I've gotten burnt too many times).
