I just installed my hard top and I have a question. There are 2 "brackets" on the rear of the hard top. They look like something should attach to them or maybe they are there to hold down the soft top. Here is a pic. Anybody know what they are for?

 

they supposed to have rubber pieces on them.

 

The soft top bounces slightly going over bumps when folded, the rubber bumpers that should be on those brackets are for the folded top to bounce against.

 

I have a hardtop (used) and it doesnt have those and i cant find them separately to buy

 

ahhh crap. now i know why my rear strikers make so much rattling noise then.

yeah i dont got those either.... hmmm... gonna have to take a look at yours patrick. maybe i can just get some rubber bumpers from mcmaster.

 

But you could replace them with any Home Depot round or square rubber piece.

The latches will still rattle, though. That's a separate problem.

I used velcro "tie-down wraps." You know the things you bundle electrical cords with... and made a circle wrap fastening the "hook" shut. As long as they're at the 90 degree angle like in the original picture, they'll rattle.

Hope that helps!

Thanks for the info. If Honda doesn't have them anymore I'm sure I can get something to fit in there.

 

Use Ckit's idea and just wrap a couple of Velcro ties with a hard piece of rubber or sponge on the bottom.
I just looked at mine and it doesn't appear to be touching anything so maybe you can just ignore it completely.
