Default Soft Top Issues

I own a S2000 soft top and love speed, unfortunately whenever i go over 120 Km\h the car gets very noisy because of the air leakage to the car. It's impossible to listen to the music system. Is this normal or do i need to change something in my car to tighten the soft top so air doesn't pass through??

Not normal.....

Being you have an 00, you need to upgrade the latches to hardtop latches.

They are standard on newer cars.

It was a TSB, not quite a recall. If warranty is over, getting a TSB might be impossible. A "recall", generally will be honored past the warranty phase. Besides, those strikers don't cost much anyway.
