Vert Wind Noise > 80mph
I just adjusted the window tip in on my vert because there was some wind getting through and so now it's much quieter up until 80mph it soudns like the top is down because there's so much wind noise. I figure it's the rear of the window because this part along the vertical side of the window doesn't look like it full compresses against the rubber insulation. Is that normal? The top of the window itself looks pretty well pressed against the rubber.

I had this same exact problem when I first bought mine and returned it to the dealer for repair. The mechanic looked it up in his convette fix it book and it called for using double sided tape underneath the seal to make it "thicker" so the rubber seal will sit up against the glass. It worked.
It doesn't take much of a gap between the glass and seal to get a lot of wind noise.
Come back and let us know if it works.

Good idea! I'll try that!
