Default New Roof Latches

After getting a new top following the cutting of my top and the seat theft, I noticed pretty bad wind noise at 40 mph and above, very disturbing at full-on highway speeds. with the top up. (It's not much fun with the top down when it is 110F outside). I found out that Honda has a Service Bulletin out that says when the top is replaced, the latches are required to be replaced, as well. This is covered under my original insurance claim.

there's a vid on youtube where a dude replaced his latches with the OEM latches meant for the hard top. He says it'll reduce the wind noise.
hard top catchers.

It looks like he has an AP1. You probably need the hardtop strikers, or you can just use washers to shim the ones you have with the same results.
