Squeak in passenger area - Convertible

Just in case someone comes across this. It has been annoying me for quite some time. A 'tick'/'squeak' coming from the passenger area, RHS, and to a less extent LHS. It was coming from the rubber/plastic contact area in the pic shown below. Treated it with this 'anti-squeak' magic fluid, and the squeak is gone now. The other side as well

I fixed my passenger area squeak by divorcing her.

I've converted your large bitmap attachment to a JPG so it shows in the post.

I'll bet it was driving you nuts looking for the source of the squeak!

Quite, Graham; I was amazed at how quiet the car was after the fix. I felt useful to myself

It's an antifriction fluid I found from Newgate. It seems to be the original deal from the Jaguar 'Squeaks and Rattle kit' used by dealers. AC612/21, 50ml pump spray
