Default Got my hardtop installed today

Holy cr@p! This thing looks beautiful. The hardtop doesn't look as good in photos as it does in person. It's a whole new car. I've got a coupe for the winter :-)

Does a really nice job of muffling some of my cat back exhausts droning at low rpms.

One question for current owners. The softop clips seem to rattle over rough sections of road (yes, they are closed) Anyone ben able to prevent this?

Thanks!

I know I know. I've been on this board almost 2 years and I still don't know how to post photos. It's pathetic.

after a couple months of hardtop use my latches became loose so i had to tighten them up by removing the trim above the rearview mirror and tightening the screws real-real hard.

and for the obligatory pic:

I was actually referring to the clips that are stillon the retracted softop, but I'll keep an eye out for this too, thanks!

Ajjra: You can put some grease on the pins that hold the latches together, that helps some. They come from the factory some on them but it wears off.

Robb33: You might want to put some BLUE Loctite on the striker screws or they will get loose again.
