Default Mugen Hardtop
When I go pass 100mph, it gets very noisy and even more when I going faster? The noise is coming from the front seal? What could I do to improve it? Thanks

Lubricate the seals and adjust the hardtop.

Better still, remove the hardtop and put it away until Autumn.

The Mugen carbon HT is quite thin at the front. I'm experiencing the same problem with mine. It lets in more wind noise than the OEM. As suggested by esem, adjust and grease the seals.

Both of mine were perfect in terms of fit and noise. Adjustment should sort it.

Often get to these speeds on trackdays and if I'd have problems like this I'd like it solved too
