My tall GTV300IE windshield squeaks when in motion....
The squeaking is coming from the lower bracket connections to the
vertical posts. I tried tightening, but no change....

i have no experience with this, but if the squeak is the rubber on plastic you could try undoing the fastener and putting a dot of vaseline in between the gasket and plexiglass.

just an idea man

I put a bit of automotive wax on the parts that make the squeak. It has been quiet for 2 years now.
