Default Targa top noise

I've never had t-tops that were as loud as this targa top. With the top on, I get creeking and squeeking all the time and alot of wind noise over 60. Am I doing something wrong here? It's almost unbearable to drive with the top off as well. There is alot of wind blowing in from the window area where my camaros and firebirds never did it as much. I'm kinda disappointed in this.

I dont know what to tell you. I know my targa makes a few creaks and squaks if I hit hard bumps in the road. but there is no wind noise. and I have gone FAST. lol IF its a bad as you say, then I suggest getting the replacement rubber seals. You know the foam/ rubber ones the seal the top to the car.

i'd also check the weather strips. my targa makes minimal noise at speeds of 60-80. can hear some wind noise from 100+ which i'd expect. mid america sells new seals along with other vendors.

Like others suggested, check the seals... You can also adjust your windows to tilt in a little more to make better contact. I had noise with my targa C5's. A targa top was nice for the first C5, but I liked my FRC and Z06 more due to the car almost feeling stiffer structure wise..
