Default Ragtop noise above 120km

Recently bought a yr 2000 S2K. At speed above 120 kilometers the top start making a terrible amount of noise taking away all the fun to go any faster.

When pulling the top down by hand it seems to get less.

Anyone has a hint how to fix this nuisance.

THX.

I have the same problem too. Nothin' you can do about it. Hopefully you don't drive that fast all the time. Get an Intake and exhaust. You won't think about the top.

There is a TSB for replacement of the top latches due to ratling problems. These same latches probably could cause the problem you describe as well.
