More Squeaky Talk
I tried moving the seats back enough so they don't touch the interior frame. That made no difference.
Then I poked around and partially removed the liner in the compartment where the top is stored when down. I drove around with the top down and the liner partially loose. It was quiet!
I put it back together and made sure the liner wasn't rubbing anything because I noticed it made a small squeak when the support bar on the right side rubbed against the liner. Voila! No squeak at least for now. Oh well, just a little squeak when I hit a big bump. It's behind the driver's seat, not the original problem. The good thing is, with the top up and windows closed, going down a regular bumpy residential street or down the freeway there's no more squeaking. It's down by 95-98%. I can live with that. I hope it lasts. Thanks for ideas everyone. I'll keep you posted if it comes back. I did note a small (1/2") rubber pad on the right side shows some wear. It may be rubbing on something. I cleaned off some dirt and I'll keep an eye on it.
