Does your oem hardtop rattles like crazy when driving over rough roads? Just wanna make sure if I am putting it on correctly or not

Mine made a rattling sound over bumps, but it was actually the rubber moulding rubbing. I has been quiet since I gave it a coat of shin-it-su neopreme grease. Good luck.

hmm...mine isn't squeaking from the rubber moldings. My rattle comes from the top latch. How do you guys put the hardtop on ?

I connect the top latches first, then the sides - it pulls then top latches taught. It you do it the other way round, if for some reason it isnt quite seated properly when you put the sides on, you wont be gripping properly with the top catchers.

I just installed my OEM Hardtop on my 2003 Ap1, and when I hit some bump, some rattle (bang bang) comes from the front of the top, It seems like the latches and the catchers arent tight together.


The left top latche seems not tight and dont fix the top tight in the catcher. Plus, I have some wind noise from this side. The front left side of my top are a little bit higher than the front right side. I want to sit it lower, how I can do this?


How I can retight the top latche, with the 2 screws??

I will check the fitting from each side off the body side catcher, I think my top are sitting to high...

Maybe your top latch screw is loose. My came off last week. Just check it just in case.

Ok guys,

i have readjusted each side of the hardtop, the front bang bang noise is gone!

The wind noise starts near 110mph, before the wind noise started near 65mph...

Is it normal to get some wind noise at this speed?

Near 120-130mph the wind noises are horrible...
