fix your latches so they could latch down your top better.

how do you fix the latches, get new ones, or adjust them?

you can get shorter versions of the part where the hardtop latches to or put some spacers to lower the latches on the hardtop so it would pull the top closer to the frame so you wont have gaps between the weather strip and the hardtop.

So today I took my car into Honda and the technician told me the reason the tops was rattling so much was because the spacer were keeping it from getting closer to the frame thus creating noise between the top and the base
