Default Convertible top

I have noticed about a week ago that my convertible top doesn't fits tightly 100% when the top is up. I noticed an "air noise" above 120 km/h. this noise stops when i manualy press the top with my hand down from the middle handle.

Does anyone have any idea on how to adjust the convertible top frame in order to tight it up a little bit ?

Thx a lot.

Sounds like your strikers are worn a bit. Do a search in S2000 Talk and you will return quite a few threads that discuss this issue and how to resolve it. Probably just need to replace them

There is no adjustment on the convertible top. Mine won't even latch without significant snatching on the middle handle. Take it into the dealer; they will be happy to laugh in your face while rejecting your claim.

*Edit: Sorry to be a pessimist. This has been my experience with the car/dealership and an obviously faulty top, under warranty. Hopefully you'll have better results. In my experience Honda makes and outstanding product and backs it up with the most rediculously useless warranty imaginable.*

You may want to try shin etsu grease on the rubber pieces. It's available at your Honda dealer or online places.
