Thanks guys, what would I do without your support.
And Ray, thanks a whole bunch. This would not went as smooth without you.
just didn't know what I was getting myself into.
So, with the help of Phil (neoaroyo). He figured out why the front locking mechanism was not locking to the catcher. It turns out that the seller was using the wrong bolt and it was too big, and was blocking the lock to snap in.
Therefore it snaps out every time there was a bump. We replaced it with a smaller bolt of the same thread and it work like a charm. We also adjust it no that it rest on tight, therefore, no more wind leaking into the cabin.
So for those of you with the hardtop on, when you drove over a bump, do you hear sounds of any kind coming from the rear. I am not talking about the same sound that Jeff and Ray has from the front catcher.
Now, the hard decision, Obama or McC, no sah, just kidding. The hard decision of leaving the windshield on or taking it off. =(

Yeah - the soft top locks, and i wouldn't have noticed it if kenta hadn't mentioned it to me. I tape them up before i put the top on to quiet them down from rattling.
And no, I don;t have any rattles in the back. What it probably is, is the soft top bouncing up and down. You need two rubber stoppers that go over a part of the soft top rails to stop this most likely. They come with the HT kit brand new, but hardtopguy has them. I bought a set off him a few months ago. Here is a pic of what I am talking about:

My passenger side one drives me nuts.. generally I don't notice it with the top down and music up but with the hardtop, damn.. annoying. I saw a TSB about inserting some kind of foam between the metal and plastic bits on the side which is supposed to quiet them now.
For now I've zip'tied my down with black zip ties and they're gonna stay that way all winter. Nice and quiet.
