Default valve adjustment?

[EDIT] son of a gun, didn't see the "Technical" sub-forum until after I posted... and of course it had "DIY Valve Adjustment" as the first topic [/EDIT]

... also, while I'm here, how does one adjust the latches for the convertible top? I'm getting a bit of wind noise where the top meets the top of the windshield frame, mainly on the driver's side, and I expect there is a way to adjust the latch a smidgen tighter. I didn't realize it until a day or two ago when it rained, first time I'd driven with the top up since I bought it

Thanks in advance!

There's an adjustment screw somewhere around where the top pivots to the left of the drivers seat and right of the passenger seat. If you replace the strikers (where the claw for the top grabs) it might get rid of it, but i'm sure that honda put that adjustment there so you can fix it when they wear down. I'll check the service manual and tell you exactly where it is after lunch

You can upgrade to hardtop strikers, or you can buy some 1/4" plastic tubing (like those used for fish tanks) and put it on the hooks. This will cause the hooks to pull the top a little bit tighter.
