Default Clasps worn by roof latches


Anyone else having this problem? The roof latches wore notches into the clasps on the window frame making the fit less snug. What did you do to fix/prevent it?

Got it. Thanks. But is there something I can do to prevent this from happening?

Use the top less? haha.

I ended up replacing the strikers also; they weren't too expensive at the time.

Not really, they just wear out over time.

Definitely pick up some new strikers. I often push down on the roof (from the outside with the windows down or doors open) to take the strain off the latches.

How far back should the roof fold down?
