Default Wind noise when the top is up

I try not do drive with the top up too much, but every once in a while I have to. When I do, I get a lot of wind noise coming from what seems to be where the windshield and convertible top meet. The noise is particularly loud at high speeds (over 75 or so).

Do all of you have this problem too? If so, has any body been able to do anything to reduce the noise?

I agree, the car is loud; however, I haven't noticed an excess of wind noise coming from that area. A trip to the dealer may be in order.

Ed,

I don't have that wind noise, but I think Mingster might've had some. Did you use the shin-etsu grease yet?? I think that helped get rid of the noise that Mingster had.

I recently cleaned the rubber seal (with windex as suggested by the manual) and applied shin-etsu. But to no avail. I still get a lot of noise.

It looks like this might just be my problem

"Cleaned the seal with Windex as recommended in the manual"?. I don't think so.........

You need to grease the seals as recommended in the manual and if that's not enough others have solved the problem by "heat shrinking" some heat shrink tubing (available at any electronic store) over the hooks which hold the top down.
