Default noisy cabin

When im driving with the top at speeds over 60 it starts to get pretty noisy. The same noise a s when your window seals are bad ..the windows are rolled up but wind still hollows. When i pull down on the top(where it meets the top of the windshield) it stops. Anything i can get rid of this or at least dampen it? I know its a 6year old convertible..so understand it mightnot be possible without replacing the top or something

Mine does the same thing. There are some service bulletins that were not completed under warranty on my car, so if I want to get them fixed and fixed right by Honda, I have to pay for it. Have not exactly got around to spending that money....I put the top down when I can and tolerate it when the top has to be up.

Get the HD hardtop strikers for the windshield. These were made standard in later model cars.
Oh, and an annual or semi-annual treatment of the seals will help greatly. If you've never given the seals much attention, you may just be "paying the piper" now.

Yep it's the strikers your local stealer can provide them!

Or you could order the HT strikers from Hardtopguy (board sponsor) online. I'm sure you can get the silicone grease from him, too. The Honda stuff is called "Shin-etsu" grease, but you can use any similar product from any car manufacturer.
