    Another question for Vert owners

    I have the hardtop mounted but as I drive, I still hear a significant amount of wind...in fact when I wash the car the seal between the hardtop and the car seems to leak...now I'm not sure if its the seal or actually the latches that aren't holding as they should...any thoughts?

      Send it to me for closer inspection.

      Sounds like a worn gasket, but I would check the condition of the latches and around the top of the windshield. The little nipple for the latch is worn on mine, but a matchbook or a larger gasket, will fix that.

              I'm on it till I own it brother. The northeast extension is no fun with a soft top and remus screaming in my ear.

              My current area is about 160 miles from your area so that might take some doing :D

                  Check your window positioning/fitment. 99% of leaks come from windows not being adjusted properly.

                      duly noted...I know I need to address that, but some of the leaks are from the front area...at least that's where it drips from...LOL

                          New front seal.
