I searched and searched and couldn't find a thread to answer this.....

Does anyone know how to adjust the roof to clamp down tighter on the windshield? When I drive with the top up (very rare) and on the freeway, I get a wind whistle right between the two latches where the roof meets the windshield. When I pull down on the handle the leak goes away, so telling me I just need to tighten it, but the manual doesn't have anything for that.

Can someone help a girl?

I don't think there's a way to adjust this. You can check the screws holding the striker plates to the windshield frame to make sure they haven't come loose. If the striker plates are worn where they contact the clamp then you can replace the plates. I know for the earlier MYs (00-01 I think) the striker plates could be replaced with ones that were more heavy-duty. You can also try greasing the seal between the windshield and the top. If it's still under warranty, I would take it into the dealer and have them look at it.
