I think they will always make some noise that is just the way ttop cars are. My mom had a 97 firebird new and the ttops were noisy in it too. Not as bad as my car but still pretty loud.

Adjusting them is pretty easy...

If your car has all the correct screws, then this is how it should work:

take a #2 phillips screwdriver & remove the interior trim pieces in the front & rear of the T-top. NOTE: It may be possible to adjust the tops without removing the trim pieces IF you can get clearance to get to the nuts on the cams.

Once you have access to the cams you take your favorite 7mm nutdriver & loosten the cams a little, then move them down to allow for a tighter fit.

As for the Plastic T-tops, the fast & easy way to tell is the front & rear edges of each Top will have a metal strip. No strip- there glass...
