Default wind noise w/top up

when im driving about 70-80 w/ the top down im getting alot more wind noise than usual...i can pull down where the handle has an opening for you to pull down and the noise decreases ALOT...is there anything i can do to make the top tighter or put something to decrease the wind from coming in?

dude you are going through all the stuff I have fixed but are behind me about 2 months Put 1/4 inch airline tubing over your hooks (cost ya about 25 cents/foot)

Everyone else will tell you to replace your strikers for $40. Either way your noise will go away.

Next things you will notice on your car...soft top straps are saggy so your top doesn't go down all the way (modifry sells replacement straps)

the part on the windshield the hooks latch on to. the 00-01 used a soft metal and it pits where the hooks go. the result is the top is not secured and you get wind noise. the new design (my02 part) solves the problem.
