Great Choice. You can also pick up the hardware at any dealership, whether it be online (like hondaautomotiveparts.com) or local.

Random question: Are the strikers different between the convertible and hard top?

If i remember correctly the ap1 stikers are different. I believe the ap2 strikers were designed to fit both well.

I am using ap1 strikers with my hardtop right now but it rattles a little.

OP:

I highly reccommend that you to check out s2ki and other local forums first. You should be able to find them a lot cheaper. All that you really need are the side catchers.

do you have an ap1 or ap2?

Yeah, I have no idea which strikers are on my car but they don't seem to hold the top as tightly as I'd like. There was a brand new set in the trunk when I bought the car but they seem to be the same size... maybe I'll take one off and make sure though.

I believe left is the hardtop guy stikers (newer honda strikers) vs. the stock MY01 striker on the right...

From what I understand the OEM AP1's should work fine with the hartops...

have you tried swapping them around? That should help hold the top on a little tighter if they are pretty wore out.

You already have you answers here... Are you talking about an OEM hardtop with seals and everything or do you have a mugen knock off and need window, seals catchers and everything else?
