S2000 Roof adjustment
Discussion
I suspect the striker-plates have worn.
To answer your question:-
- there is no adjustment
- but a common fix is to put rubber 'collars' around the shaft behind the 'hook' (there's already a small rubber collar there), which then pulls the hood a little tighter down against the windscreen surround.
The cheap fix (or to check if it works) is to put some folded card behind that 'hook' (where the collar would go) and see if it solves the problem.

Yep, I'm pretty sure it can. Google for 'S2000 workshop manual' and download a copy for details of how to adjust.
And as much as you dislike www.s2ki.co.uk all the niggly things like this have been seen before and details of how to fix can be found on there.
ETA - havoc's fix is the one I was thinking of, thought it was something involving the plates/catches.

BBeef Havoc is right do not bother trying to adjust the roof it is your striker plates that are attached to your header rail that are worn. Go to your nearest Honda dealer and order 2, not hard to put on and will transform the noise. The only adjustment available at the front is these plates as it is them that the roof attaches to the header rail where the wind noise is coming from. The roof is not pulling tight when closed as there will be play in the worn plates. No amount of roof altering at the hinges will alter the front fitment as such.

That's probably the better fix. I didn't know how expensive they were!Gassing Station | Honda | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
