-question... the hardtop is supposed to be sitting on top of the stock weather seals, yes?

-is there something for the back of the hardtop (peice beneath rear window) that's supposed to help pull it down?

-what trunk spacers are you guys using?
there is supposed to be a weather stip in the rear. doesnt really sit on black hard rubber strip on the car. a lot of the squeaking people get is caused from that very piece rubbing on the hardtop.

there are no latches that tie the rear of the top down besides the one on the sides.. im working on making a quick fix for that.. the Spoon tops from shine actually come with a bracket for that..

i dont have a trunk spacer on mine but let me know what you use.. some people use the bottom rubber part for a walking cane.

There's two screw holes on each side on the rear that maybe i can try and fab something up... keep us updated!

as far as trunk spacers, I'm actually using a block of foam that's held there by electrical tape... haha. but id id make a few trips to the hardware store. there are rubber door stops that i was thinking of using. then i wen to kragens under their rubber bushing section and there were several bushings there that looked like they could do the job. but i just need to think of a way to secure them on. i'll keep you updated on my search too.

I just went to the hardwares shop and got 2 rubber stoppers that fit snugly over the OEM trunk stoppers, as in the above pic.

OEM FTW!! Only Oem or Authentic Mugen is worth the trouble
the Seibon one is actually pretty good too.

but, yeah... seems like OEM, Mugen, and Seibon are the ones to go with.
