Thought I would throw it out there in case some people are thinking of installing them. Took only a few minutes. Very easy to do. Just one screw hole got messed up somehow, so need to re tap it or something.
I was having tons of wind noise coming in from the front of the top right where it meets the windshield. I installed the hardtop strikers and today no wind noise at all. There is the usual noise of the wind hitting the convertible top, but no air coming in noise anymore. I can actually hear my radio again while driving. Great thing to do!! I know someone recently posted a way to do it without getting the new strikers. Whichever way works for you, but I am soooo happy I replaced mine!!

 

you can also just put a washer to act as a spacer between the body and the plate...quick fix.

 

yeah

 

you used hardtop strikers on your softop?

 

yeah I did. It helps. To get rid of any wind noise. Direct swap.

 

Alot of people do this. I will be doing it soon also, the cabin is so loud at highway speeds. I know this car isnt supposed to be quiet but if I push the top down against the windshield it gets much quieter.

 

yeah definitely do it!! I procrastinated for a while but it makes the world of a difference. Didnt just help. It completely fixed the problem.

 

im telling you guys...the washers/spacers DIY really works...you people just insist on spending money...

 

I already had the hardtop strikers for a while so decided to go with that since I had them already. I'm
sure the washer method is good as well.

 

where is this diy. tried searching couldn't find it

Will this spacer or replacing strikers help me with squeaking noises when the top is up.? only does it when i hit bumps and such, its so annoying.
