Squeaking blisters/louvers need help!

So I mounted my louvers or blisters the black ones they were brand new from classic industries GM ones. And they are making a really bad squeaking noise. When I take them off and drive with just the hood no sound. So it's te blisters.

Do you use rtv or a glue ?

Use neither. You over tightened them when installing. Try to loosen the mounting hardware. Be sure to keep them tight, just not overtight.
