Convertible Top Squeaks When Opening (near the end)

So, my dad was driving the FC for a while, and he had the convertible top replaced with a new Robbins top. I told him to make sure that the upholstery shop lubed up everything when they had the top off. I don't know if this was done or not. The top turned out great, but it still sqeaks like hell near the end of opening cycle. Is this is a simple fix? Can I just lube something up and get rid of the problem? I'm sure I could go in there and screw around with it, but I figured I would ask here first.

Thanks.

Well since nobody else will chime. I would just say to spray lube the hinges until you find the one that is doing it. Just a touch of spray and wipe the excess. Its probably the hinges inside where you can't reach them. That'd be my luck
