Whistling noise from around the roof area Alright, I can't really take it anymore.....
guys what the hell is whistling around the driver's side of my car when I'm going down the road?
Nothing amiss and everything seems to be in adjustment like hood, doors, etc.
So what the heck is that noise? I'm ready to throw a hand grenade through the window and walk away.
It is usually around 55 on up I start hearing it and it gets progressively louder. Thanks

You might be able to re-adjust the t-top fitment and make it fit a bit tighter. I've done this on my 3rd gen and it worked well. That car sounded like a tornado passing over and now its about 70% gone (I've only adjusted 1). Maybe someone on here has done this?

Ya, I would take the weather stripping off and clean it and put some type of silicone product on it to moisturize it and make a better seal.
BTW when I latch my Ttops they are very very snug almost feels like your gonna break it(exaggerating, but very snug) thats what it should feel like.

DubyaSsixTA you said you have adjusted them. Got any idea of where to start. I have the GM sevice manuals and I didn't see anything but I'm going to look again to make sure. Thanks.

FYI My car leaked horridly when I got it. Seals had NEVER seen the GM grease. I put some on it and now I can take it and powerwash it without more than 1 or 2 drops getting in and most times not even that does. Body is 100% straight and T-tops fit VERY snug. But I have a mild amount of wind noise. I dunno, nothing to worry with. I drove 90ish (1900rpm or so, love the T56) today and it was nice and quiet inside. Sounds odd.

There may be adjusters behind the pin-holes (the rear-facing one may require peeling back the headliner). If it's like the 3rd gen, you can unscrew the 2 bolts, slide the fitment thingy down towards the car to create a tighter fit, and tighten up the bolts. Again, this was on my raggedy 89 with no headliner, so I'm not positive on this.
