Default Shims for your latches

So I came across this on eBay
http://item.mobileweb.ebay.com/viewi...d=290547166185
I might end up buying these since I hear some wind inside the car on the highway
Bothers the heck out of me and sometimes I find myself just pulling the top down for sanity.

My questions
Who has them and do you like them
Why can't I just pit some washers in there instead of buying the plate?

Thanks

50k ago i am sure as fwak don't remember what size of washers LOL.

nobody should know how many you'll need since it's your softtop, put one one and see if you need a thicker/more washers.

just bring the striker to homedepot and get a bag of washers.
