do you still have the factory strikers? i was told that the striker that came with the top was much stronger and seals it better.

are strikers the part that stops the softtop from moving around on the rear glass or the hardtop??

if so i got those, they do nothing my softtop never even moves, does your top make noises when you go over bumps at angles??? like you can hear it kinda moving?

I would imagine that the top will make minor noises when going over bumps as the energies from the vehicle are transferred into the hardtop thereby causing it to flex.

The strikers are in the front just behind the windshield and they are the piece that the latch attaches to... They secure the hardtop up front.
