We now have proof that Jim's Hardtop is NOT welded on, at least not at the front.

From what I remember that 02+ have the upgraded hardtop latches. You do have some adjustment room but not much. Those latches do wear out and sometimes require replacement. If you think about it they have a lot pressure put on them.

Hardtopguy sells the replacement. Hardtop latches

Replacing your latches will most likely solve your problem with wind noise and movement/rubbing noise.

I had to have the latches upgraded on my 06 when I got my hardtop installed by Jay Lee's. I think that no matter the year, you will need to have the upgraded hardware.
