Default wind getting between the roof and the windshield.

Guys I've been experiencing this problem since i bought this 01 s2k, i hear wind coming between the windshield and the roof, i think that the driver's side roof lock is not grabbing the roof like it should, so you hear this wind getting inside the car.

any ideas on what to fix did?

I took my car to the dealer for the exact same problem, and they told me to buy new strikers and latches.

Anyways, I ended up fixing the problem (mostly) myself. I modified where the bump stopper for the top in the up position so it would stop about 1/4" earlier than it did, so when I engaged the latch, it pulled the top tighter to the frame. There's a TSB on how to modify the stopping point, but basically there's a bolt covered with a rubber stopper located behind the doors (inside the hair/brush area). Remove the stopper, and get a crow's foots wrench and loosen the bolt. This will raise it causing the top to stop earlier. This eliminated 95% of the wind (unless I was going over 115). If and when you decide the replace the latches and strikers, just readjust the top again. I'm in the middle of putting a glass back top on my car now, and it has new latches, so hopefully my problem will be rectified. Hope this helps a little.
