Default Soft Top Wind Noise

So I was wondering if any of you guys have the same problem that I do.
So when i'm driving, it seems wind seems to seep in from the top of the soft top.
Its not that noticeable until I hit above 65mph+
The only way it goes away is if I pull it down and hold it from the little grabbing thing right in the middle.
If I let go, it just comes back.
Do you guy have this problem?
Any fixes?
Thanks in advanced.

Tightening your latches should do it. Happened to my friend's S.

Put a spacer under the catchers which will then make the latches pull the top down lower creating a tighter seal

Either that or hard top strikers. Before buying any new parts try cleaning the seal on the lip of the roof with a wet rag (or windex if its really dirty) and lubricate it with Shin-Etsu grease.

I used a small piece of clear plastic tubing over each latch. you can get the tubing a any home depot, and cut a small piece just long enough to fit. it pulls the latch down just enough to stop the wind noise.
