Doesn't your car have a v8 in it...? I think using the mx5 coilpack is what's causing the gremlins :lol:

unscrew the silver caps on the rear tabs and adjust it there? Also you can get replacement rubbers for those (not the cheapest things in the world) that reduce the rattle/make the top sit snugly.
