Hi again, Viper Bros!!
Just wanted to pass this tip along. If your RT10 hardtop rattles and you just can't seem to eliminate that annoying noise no matter how much time you spend playing with the latches, do what I did. Buy 2 or 3 rubber door stoppers (about $.50 each) and push them firmly between the hardtop and the "rollbar". I put one in the middle at the 3rd brake lamp, and one on each side. It keeps constant pressure against the latches, and won't mar the paint. It made my car a pleasure to drive again...FOR A BUCK! (now if I can just quiet my wife)
Good luck!!

Good idea! I've tried a few "home-made" solutions, but now that I've replaced or adjusted each of my latches, the rattle's mostly gone and as tight as the latches currently are, I'm not sure I could put in any stoppers and get them to latch!
