Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Hi, When I go over 65mph the wind noise on my hardtop is pretty loud and is coming from the top to windscreen area. I have the little plastic caps on properly but no matter what I do they don't seat properly into the locating slots either side of the windscreen, They are about 10mm short of where they should be and the front latch doesn't pull them into the slots. When the auto latch on the soft top closes it pulls the top in tight but the manual hardtop latch doesn't. Can anything be adjusted? Thanks

POST 2Original post

apart from going into the small slots and tightening the alan type screw in each of them (behind a plastic guard) I don't know what to suggest. I don't know if the latch part can be adjusted without seeing it. Also check that the back is locked intop the body with the large alan key. Something like a full half turn should lock it down in place.

I have not experienced that problem and I have gone over 60mph several times over the past 4 years

POST 5 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Hi, everything is locked at the back just fine, will get some pictures tomorrow morning. thanks

POST 6Original post

You say the back is locked in. Did you check the front slots. In there Behind a plastic piece, is a screw that works loose from vibration. Tighten them up each side and the top will be pulled in more towards to screen, hopefully closing the gap at the front that is letting in a slight breeze making the whistle sounds. Did the hard top come with that car? Has the car been involved in an accident any time in its life?

POST 7 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Hey, So today I decided to remove the hardtop as im going to do some coilover work and need access to the top mounts. As I put the soft top up I heard a crack and the rear plastic screen shattered, It was very brittle. Anyone know if you can just replace the plastic? On a better note I managed to get the pins on the hardtop to seat properly. the two nuts on the rear pins can be slackened and the pins are in slotted holes, A shove forward and they are now seated at the front. Now to search for a new screen
