I bought mine in England and was given new front strikers from an 00. I hear the metal was softer on them. It would shake and make noise from the get go and we even adjusted it by the book.

I tried to lock tight the strikers in, use washers and had it good for a while. Then I took it off while I rolled top down and put it back on and again it would rattle and shake and the strikers felt loose.

So 1Nate7 said I should try the hardtop strikers which I did from Hardtopguy. They look a bit different and I bought new screws as well.

Man I didnt even have to adjust anything....no more rattle and they are on tight.

Also I was told to undo the fronts when you jack your car up.

Cool, glad it worked out for you. They also work wonders if you have a loose connection and wind noise between your windshield frame and convertible top. I can barely latch the soft top it's so tight now.

I'm having rain troubles with mine today. the rear window is leaking! so I called the guy who installed it and am waiting for a response.

I need a weekend to just fiddle with it and make it fit right.

Well you dont have the oem adjustments in the rear so hard to really move it around like that. We can take a look at it if we get some day light
