wind noise
I wonder if there is any way to end the wind noise on my 78 ?
I have in the past had an auto glass company adjust the windows, and also a vette repair shop work on them, and I have new glass t-tops on, but the wind noise is terrible.... can anything be done ?

Get louder exhaust !
Hard to say exactly where the wind is getting in... Which area would you pinpoint it? Do you have the proper little concave plastic washers under the tops that allow you to snug them down instead of just pushing the bushing out?

I'll go snap a quick pic... Show you the washers I'm talking about...
Duh , never mind... It's not used or needed on a t- top... It's for my wind jammer or aftermarket acrylic moon roof...
The t-top just has a post that goes through the bushing... Make sure you aren't over tightening the t-top. Could be you're pulling it down sooo hard on the outside that it's lifting the inside a bit...

Yea , the inner tabs are adjustable for seal tightness... But over tightening the clamp handles could be putting too much pressure on the outside causing the inside edge to lift up... I'm sure with a little tweaking and testing you should find the happy medium...
