Default Mugen Hardtop Rear Window Shakes Violently

Whenever I get on the freeway, which is all the damn time, the rear window starts shaking all crazy and it's more than irritating. If im cruising at 80 you can say goodbye to all conversation with your passenger. So, I am wondering if it is the rubber beading, or small tubing that lines the underside of the window. I will upload pictures tomorrow if you guys don't know what im referring too. Anyways, are these available with aftermarket seals or is there another alternative fix?

flow-able silicon maybe? they use it on windshields so I would think that it would work for the rear window.

No I think it's the FRP one from some other manufacturer. I believe, I do not know for fact the previous owner purchased the roof.

probably wasnt installed correctly. if you can find out what brand top it is, you might want to see if you can get a new rubber window seal. then take it to a body shop the knows how to do plexi window installs and get it re done.

If the top is an authentic piece you should have a metal mugen badge with serial number riveted above window. Just FYI
