14K on the 2010. The noises have been getting progressively worse since early summer (12K or so).

Every time I raise/lower the top I stop it to poke around a bit. The wiring loops are fairly tight, and use a lot of plastic ties. I have rotated a few in case they were rubbing.

Last drive, the clicking/squeaking was constant on anything but smooth roads, at lower speeds as well such as bump at 20 MPH. Its infuriating. Unless a hinge or piece of metal has a fracture, its likely just something in need of a dab of lube. Such a minor thing causing a major usability issue.

I'm used to noises...this car replaced a very well used and modified 1992 miata. This is not a normal noise, especially in a car as stiff as the Z. Its in the top and I'm still hunting for it. Boo.
