Default noise while driving

Guys i've had this problem for a while, it didnt really bother me during teh summer b/c i had my top down most of the time but now its just annoying. Whenever i'm driving with my top up there are wind noises coming from the softtop. As if the soft top isnt correctly locked in. I did some reasear and found out that i might have to replace the strikers, so i went ahead and bought strikers off hardtopguy.com, well that didnt really work either. Well i was driving yesterday and I pulled down on teh soft top and the noise was gone. Something just isnt holding the drivers side of the soft top tight enough. I CANT FIGURE WHAT IT COULD BE. CAN U GUYS PLEASE HELP ME OUT HERFE?

Like rattling noises? I get that too, I'm wondering if it's because of the wind or because of my exhaust and the in cabin drone causing it to do that. Only had my car for a few months, so I'm really not sure what it is.

You are talking about a wind noise right? I have the same thing and I have hard top strikers as well. Does it sound normal when you pull down on the top on that center pull down spot? Because when I pull down on mine while driving it sounds great no wind. So I am sorry I dont have an answer for you but I think we have the same problem.

Nah, it's not wind.. it's more of rattling, like something is loose.
