Thanks

Surely with the national speed limit you shouldn't be in a position to experience the noise regularly?!

I also have quite a lot of wind noise. Is yours from the front above the windscreen?

You could try adjusting its fitting by removing the plastic covers and adjusting the 3 (each side) bolts that hold the roof to the brackets, whilst the mounts are all locked, I have managed to get mine a few mm lower by doing this but due to my roll cage not being exactly symmetrical I will never get the roof perfectly flat

At that speed the last thing concerning you should be wind noise

Guys lets not get off-topic here I have the same issue and I got rid of the wind noise on the driver side by adjusting the hardtop bolts as mentioned earlier. Just have to do the same for the passenger side next there's a Honda hardtop PDF on the forums that can be searched for to aid you in doing this.

Lot of speed preaching here. Go get a prius.

Mine is noisey from the side, not the top

I agree. The OP never said it was on the A34. It might have been on track.
