Default Hard top issue

Having some issues with my hard top. Im not sure if theres a way to adjust the latches or not but when im going highway speeds it starts to lift a little bit. Im not sure why its doing it. any help would be great.

this is due to bernoulli's principle. when driving on the freeway with the windows up, the top will lift because the cabin air pressure is greater than the air pressure moving along the top of the hardtop, this causes it to lift. my hardtop does this too, and if you're paranoid like me just open up a crack in the passenger window and it won't lift up as much anymore because you are equalizing the pressure

ive noticed that too, it makes 135+ so much more epic

doesnt do it below that speed though. do you have side catches or izzys brackets in the rear?
