Went away this weekend and used my Easi Canopi which I've never tried before. It went up easily enough and as I only want it for a sun shade looked good for the job. However when sat in the van there is a constant creaking noise from the figure 8 strips. Does anyone else suffer this? I understand with the breeze they will be move, but A) it's quite annoying and B)I guess it's rubbing the paint.
Has anyone suffered this and any solutions available?
Cheers Spud.

Don't think I want to go down the stick on route. Will try some oil and see how that goes.
