Grab the handle above your mirror. Tug down on it. If this reduces the noise then new strikers will fix you up. If not, then track down your air leak and post back.

They are the things that the top latches latch on to. They are mounted on the top corners of the inside of the windshield frame.

Had the same problem.. Bought these a few weeks ago and it has really helped make those highway drives less noisy.
