Can any of you guys give me some tips on the side catcher install? I've had my top on a few months and im getting horrible creaking from where the brackets meet the top. I initially installed it as told with someone putting their weight on the top and tightening the bolts.. It was ok for a day or so and then every imperfection in the road nets noise.. So a few weeks later I retightened it with the same result, and at the time I noticed one side of the top was a bit higher where it meets the body. It seemed that the bolts weren't very tight when I went to retighten them. I don't want to crank the crap out of them and have the possibility of pulling the nuts out of the carbon. Would locknuts help? Am I not tightening them enough?

Also, what are the consequences of removing one of the window seals to move it out a smidge? Would I need to buy a new one or can it be reapplied? (it leaks little droplets of water, not a big deal and it is my own fault)

Overall I am still very happy with the top, Forbidden.

Thank you.
