Default HARDTOP Question

I was just wondering if anyone is experiencing this, when driving around 80 or more it seems like the front top where the hardtop clicks onto the stock locking mechanism is making lots of noise. Its like there lots of wind coming through and making a wshhhhhhhhh sound. I just got a hard top and install it and soon after notice this. I thought the hardtop is suppose to reduce the noise in the cabin. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks guys!

Oh yeah the hardtop came with a install kit from a 01 and mine is a 03. Is that ok?

I don't have that problem on my '00. You may need different install kit or just an adjustment.

Cabin is quieter with hardtop on. No wind noise. But the engine and road noise are more distinct.

Hey Dut, what did you do about the noise coming from your front? And does your hardtop makes a thud sound when going over bumps? Thanks man!

Yeah exactly that part. So your top doesn't make a thud sound? I think mine is lose or something.
