Default Hardtop strikers - still latches weakly.

Hey guys I got hardtop strikers in an effort to make my soft top latches do up tighter, however they don't seem to latch any better. The first time I latched them after installing they did it nice and firmly, but now it's not much stronger than the original strikers. What else could be the issue?

The latches have probably lost their tension, you might try to replace them , or you can add washers under the striker plates. Might try the washer trick first as it costs almost nothing.
