Default wind noise

i know this thread was covered before. passenger window on 98 allows quite a bit of air in if going over 80 mph. should i try to adjust the window pitch first. or adjust the metal clip on removeable roof panel?? is there a screw you need to loosen before attempting to move metal clip??? it was really annoying on road trip. set cruise for 80 mph and it was almost as if the window was down some. to adjust window pitch i need to remove door panel is this difficult??? i have taken door panels off of other cars i have owned. but once you take apart seems to never go back the same. need to take door panel off anyway speaker grill is very loose. thanks guys....

I have done this but don't recall the steps.
Go to C5 Tech forum and search for blow out clip and several posts with your prob come up.
good luck

There are a few different causes of wind noise in coupes. Here are a few links to adjustment instructions:

Thanks, but I can't take credit for the links. They were provided to me during my search for wind noise solutions. Hope you solve your issue. Wind noise is certainly annoying!
