i have an '03. when i drive with the top up and windows up there is a loud noise coming from wind blowing down on the rear glsss window. if i roll one of my side windows down about a half of an inch it goes away. Is there anything i can do to get
rid of this noise? Or should i just live with it.

bump, any ideas?

I had the exact same problem!

I took it to the Honda dealer and they put on new latches and stricker plates, all under warranty.

TSBs are good for the 3yr/36k miles original warranty. After that, it's up the Service Manager and District Manager. Most aftermarket warranties, including Honda Care, will not pick up the tab if the vehicle is outside of the original warranty.

I think my noise is a little different because i have a glass rear window? any ideas?

Glass or plastic, the window section has to be fitted to the surrounding soft top and rear base. Perhaps you've got a seam that's not fully "together". Although I don't encourage smoking, maybe next time you can duplicate this noise, have a passenger blow smoke to see if you can tell where it's going.
I assume that you have the incoming air vents open and if you put it to "recirc", the noise diminishes?

The tubing will have to do the trick i guess untill i take it in.
Hey quick question, having owned nothing but older cars before, i am unclear of the limitations of a warrenty. I bought mine used at a Bently dealership and i have about 8,500 miles with a 5 year warrenty. Does this mean that i can go to any licenced Honda to get warranty work done?

I'm not sure but doesn't an extended warranty require it to be transferred officially by the new owner for it to remain valid?

Not to thread jack; but I had my top replaced on my '04 after vandalism and seat theft. Now when I am on the highway with the top and windows up, the passenger side top (where the top actually stops near the window) has a lot of lift on it, which leads to strong wind noise. I can even stick my finger out of the car with little pressure. The drivers side does not have this problem....
any thoughts on how to fix?

This not going to be a simple home fix. Take it back to whomever did the transplant.
