Power Sky Removable Windows - Squeaking? Noises?

[Harsh]

Sooo basically same issue buttt I tried messing with air pressure and usually my noises are based on colder temps. Lowered from 37psi to 34psi in rear and it seemed to help quiet it down a lot. The front I kept 37 and will play with it until I get it just right. Took a ride in it in the morning when its cold and same route and it was quiet. I have a rubicon 2020 and could be weight thing, as I know my buddy who has a ecodiesel and the hardtop is quiet ride but there is like 600lb with engine and hardtop added over mine with the same pressure suggested on the door sticker so obviously this would mean too much and ride is stiff so everything starts to make noise. Just a theory i am trying lol

Picked up my new jeep last week with power top. Squeaking from rear removable window panels is like chinese water torture. Came from factory with mylar tape already. Pins are still metal and make noise badly when depressed and released. Tried WD40. No change. Have appt at dealership next week. Hopefully there now is a better plan from Jeep to address issue because it is maddening

A little vaseline or white grease on the top of the pins.. and a little wd40 inside them seemed to do it... there is also a squeak that comes from the plastic in the trunk where it meets the rollbar on the sub woofer side (passenger side). It might be on this thread.. there was a diagram showing a small piece of plastic you trim back and squeak is gone forever.

Thanks Vinny, Sounds like noise is from two latches at top but maybe I am mistaken. I will check this area out. Much appreciated

Took delivery of my 2023 JL XR with the Skytop and can confirm i have the same squeak from the rear passenger side (possibly the window). Jeep still hasn't fixed this and from the sounds of it they wont.

I put some WD40 on the 2 bottom pins that insert. Then on the top I put some Vaseline on the metal plate the pin slides up against. So far squeak immediately went away. 2020 Jeep Rubicon

ALSO! Another fix.
