Hi all, got my hard top fitted with the clamps on the tightest setting.

But it just doesn't feel as snug as it should be.

When I reach speeds over 60mph Ish I get a massive increase in wind noise, which sounds to be coming from where the hard top meets the top of the windscreen.

Any tips on getting it that little bit tighter? New seals potentially?

The guide to fix them is below, they strech over time, you might get away with simply unlatching, unbolting the side brackets and see if you can get them to fix slightly lower, if not the below guide should be able to help:

Thanks Mitch, when I was looking at the mechanism I did think whether that could be shortened like in the guide.

There is also another area to look at, that's the side seals to the windows. There is adjustment in those, that might help it to fit better too. how does it look to the top of the door windows?
