Thanks for the info.

 

TKG 26, it is NOT an adjustment issue on a 2001 S2000. I've had the dealer try to re-adjust the top twice pointing out the gap issue and they could not adjust the top to close the gap. There is a tech line reference that solves this problem, but I've seen the hardtop on a 2002 with no gaps. I don't know if there is any design differences for the 2002 models. For my car, they've ordered a new part (no part number yet), but I've yet to get the part installed.

 

Just read your thread Rick, great find . Just checked my hardtop now & found out i have this problem also, although i really never experienced this annoying wind noise you guys are talking about. Instead once in awhile i get a creaking noise on the passenger side's roof of the hardtop(this seems to disappear after the top has settled & been on for 1-2 weeks). Anyways how much is the part to fix this problem? Will the warranty pay for it?

If you read the other thread that was linked, you would see that it's not a little strip that comes with the hardtop. The weather strip in question is already on the car. I had a big wind noise problem until Honda re-adjusted my top, now it's a little problem that can be solved by replacing the factory weather stip that came with the car. Yes I agree, there is more than one way to skin a cat, but I don't skin cats.

liquid215, yes, this is a warranty issue and Honda will fix the problem with no charge to you.

 

hahahaha..........ok.

 

I have yet to discover what is causing the wind noise. My car is an 02 and it has the gap on the drivers side as well (as shown in the pics). The side window weatherstripping on the hardtop does not sit down in the weatherstripping attached to the car perfectly. The passenger side matches perfectly. It looks as though the hardtop on the drivers side needs to shift forward, but I cannot seem to get it to move forward. I am curious as to what this corrective part is.

Can anyone describe where your bolts are located in the rear brackets? As close to the front/top as possible, rear/bottom, etc?

 

S2002,

Did Jeff install or drop off your hardtop this past weekend? I know he did one in TN and wasn't sure if it was you. He did install mine this past weekend.
