I have zero top noise now for the past week or so. I am sure it will come back, but it was a quick and easy 5 minute fix.

My top is so quiet now it seems like a hardtop. BUT THANK GOD IT's NOT I love going topless!
I wouldn't use WD-40 for anything car related except removal of tape residue and the like. As others have suggested - "white" grease!
