Default Hard-top strickers

Hi Guys,
I would like to fix the issue i'm having with the soft top.

Wind Noise or Rattle at the Convertible Top
Service Bulletin: http://downloads.hondatech.info/Auto/Servi...000/A01-037.pdf

Called the Honda dealer today and there 52$ a piece and it seems a bit pricey for what it is.

Anyone know a good alternative OR a place where I can buy them?

Thanks

Slammed: My strickers are damaged from normal use. I guess the new ones will help.

Hankook: Nice how to... Thanks for showing us the difference between the old/new strickers.

Hard top guys sells them for twice the price...

After my long online shopping I found out that the best price is College hills honda a 25$/each. Just a heads up!

Thanks

hardtopguy sells the hardtop strikers for 50.50 for a pair and the shipping is cheaper through hardtopguy than college hills.

Canadian shit stealerships charge you an arm and a leg for every damn parts they sell. I was looking for about 20 of those tiny Fenderliner clips, and they cost $3 dollar each. So basically $60 for 20 plastic clips that aren't gold coated.

I just did this on Monday. I have ZERO wind noise now and it didn't even cost me a dime. I just used some spare bolts and washers I had lying around. All it takes is about 15-20min of your time.

uuhhh...no

we arent joking..


the method you just posted is fine as well, but i just dont like the idea that the only contact area on the windshield frame right now is now just those washers. whatever floats your boat i guess. id rather just get a complete thicker striker, than use washers. not to mention the striker has a taper edge to accept countersunk bolts, using the washer will get rid of that and now the strength around the washer is weaker. again, its whatever you wanna do i guess
