I've got a buddy that had that problem with his Jeep's bikini top - His cure was to zip-tie a couple of pieces of pipe insulation around the straps - It looks butch, but it works great.

Twist a few turns in them then reconnect. This works to get rid of the noise. You might not like the looks. Give it a try. Couldn't hurt.

Yup, twist them, works on our boat tops up to about 50 mph, probably work on a K5 top too. Seems like 1-2 full turns is plenty.
