Bad news about MIC 2.0 quality after a few days

[Theherofails]

My back window just started creaking and popping loudly but I know the cause. I wiped down the gasket between the top and window with a microfiber and now it's squeaking on the glass.. sooo I need some type of lubricant.

Maybe I'll just put the dirt back on and leave it be.

Just to add to the list, have a new leak front and center.

Ya, this is fine... It's why you got the Badlands in the first place.

If this was the only thing, I'd be in agreement. It's just another one to my list. The broken mounting flange is the biggie.

Try some silicone lubricant on the rubber seals maybe.

Think I will leave my trek top on till the warranty recalls on my hard top.

Be honest. You waxed that gasket, didn't you?

Try baby powder. BMW windows squeaked, dealer recommended it.

Sounds easy enough and sounds like it serves the same purpose as the dust was.. dry lube.

Has anyone seen this? It's not water to my knowledge because it looks and feels slick. We also haven't had any rain lately in my area.

I haven't removed the roof just yet to further inspect, only noticed this when rearranging the rear seats.

Could it be some kind of sealant/protectant for the gaskets that ran down?

Thats what I was thinking, have to further inspect. Doesn't bother me but wanted to share so others were aware. In the end I'm sure these tops will be replaced again.

That looks absolutely terrible on a $50k vehicle.

I’m thinking wheel bearing grease or maybe KY jelly will work

Sounds like a hot date

I think you're right. So much so that I'm waiting till spring to tint the windows so I don't have to do it again on MIC 3.0 after the 2.0 disintegrates this winter The 2-door demo I drove a few months ago had the same residue that looked like a water leak but felt oily. I haven't noticed any on mine so QC must have missed the forgotten random smear KY treatment.

Haha could not agree more. I'm so close to saying screw it because the damn sun shines right through tanning you in the process but knowing Mic3.0 is a real possibility I'm 50/50 now..

Interesting note on the demo... guessing within the same batch mine was in. (I'm a dirt mountain build so could explain why too)
