Default mugen hard top problems

Hi guys, i have an original Mugen hardtop and it whistle at speeds above 100 km/h. I was wondering if this is normal or not and if it isn't can anyone give me a solution to my problem?

Thanks, I would appreciate any answers.

My oem whistles a little bit. You can always try adjusting the latches to get it to seal better.

it's probably whistling from the center front area. To find out, push up on that part when it's whistling and see if the noise gets louder. If it does, that means the seal in the middle just needs to be tighter. All i did was just add a some garage door weather stripping to the front seal in the middle and it created a tight enough seal to make the noise go away.

front latches are not pulling tight enough. adjust rear top latches to tighten it up. hardtop strikers help alot. had the same problem til i put hardtop strikers and ajusted rears. no more whistle.
