Default damn air leak....

my top leaks air when im driving on the freeway. i've read about softtop strikers being worn down, but i purchased a set of used ones (good condition still) from a member and it still leaked air.

i'm wary about spending $ on hardtop strikers without confidence it will fix it. any suggestions?

thanks Rich. yeah, i've had this problem for over half a year, but got used to it.

Kaan - i have both day and night classes. im off at different times of the day, 3:45 T/TR, and 2:15 M/W. im guessing you have classes on mon & wed, since we park next to each other on those days.
