You didnt say if you take your top off or not. I do on mine, And when I put the hardware back on, I start from the front center and work my way down the sides to the back, being carefull not to over tighten. So if you check the weather stripping (good idea). Try reattaching in that order. Good luck!

Try taking the top off and possitioning it back on and retightening the bolts like bronk n blue said. IF that doesn't work, then take it off again and put some more weather stripping or foam and put it back on.

A bit of silicone spray will help the seals stay pliable and should be reapplied to all the
door, gate and top seals every 3 months or so. You could use armor all or another but
I prefer silicone since you can put the nozzle on and spray it into the tight spots!!
That TDL from pb blaster is good for assorted chassis squeaks including leaf springs,
Twist a screwdriver near the leaf ends and spray it in there. It has teflon in it and
is dry so it doesn't attract dirt But of course white lithium or even spray graphite would work. My fathers one ton van would squeak to high heaven if I didn't keep the
springs lubed, lithium would last 2 months or so depending on the weather, wd40 wouldn't last 500 miles, spray graphite lasted like 4 months but the TDL lasted like 8
months!! Don't forget to check the shock and sway bar ends they can make more
noise then you would think.
