Creaking noise at passenger window - Eclipse spyder convertible top

I'm having an issue with creaking noise coming from the upper area of the window frame of the Eclipse Spyder convertible top, model year 2004. It occurs with bumps, when the top moves most. During cold weather it worsens, and as well at high speeds (70+) it will start creaking. If you put pressure against the window, the creaking will stop. As well, a very slight lowering of the window will also remove the creaking noise issue. The driver's side does not do this, just the passenger side.

Has anyone had issues with this creaking sound in their Spyder soft tops? If so - what are some suggested remedies?

I've thought of treating the weather stripping with something, in hopes that would remove the creaking noise. But I'm not sure what would be a good thing to treat the weather stripping with - I hear that armor-all is a terrible thing to use.

Suggestion?

Thanks!
