Default Help with hardtop

Hello guys, so this is my problem. my hardtop is letting air come in the cabin when i go over 130-140 km/h.it is like when u close ur window but not totally and there is a whistle from the air that goes louder and louder the more i accelearate.do u think are the catches? i recently put some foam in them because they rattle in every bump and gap that was on the road.yes i had the whistle before and yes the foam made the rattle go away.do u think i have to change them or is there anything to add under the hardtop in order to firmly close?
thanks ,Andreas

I went here and bought two sets (4 shims) and mine still whistles a bit It has made it a lot better, though. These work for most people it seems, so I'd give them a try if I were you. They are a very easy DIY and there is even a video DIY somewhere on Youtube.

Do you have an aftermarket top?

What kind of hardtop? My oem with oem latches is great, sound-wise, but took a little adjustment.
