At highway speeds combined with wind conditions my fiberglass top will flux and rhythmically hit on the metal cross bar that would be used to raise the pop top. I wrapped the cross bar with some plumbing pipe insulation--the black styrofoam insulation cover you get at a hardware store. The fiberglass top will rattle a slight bit at the latch that holds the top shut. But The top is not "opening" to hit the cross bar. It is the flexibility of the fiberglass that allows it to hit the cross bar. For those with a fiberglass roof, is this normal? Jeff 83.5 Westy LA,CA
