Click on "search" under Forums, and type in "window tip-in adjustment" and you will get several good tips and sets of directions. Besure to check on the weatherstriping too, as it is sometimes out of alignment at the joint where the top and sides meet. Good luck. :)

I moved the clip per some instructions on the Forum and it helped. But you might also take a look at the top and how it fits. My glass top fit so well that there was never any wind noise but the solid top has always had noise.

I have had the car about a monmth now and I recently took the top off.
The noise seems to hve gotten worst.
Is it possible the top needs adjustment?
Is this somthing I can do or am I better off taking it to the dealer?
I seem to remember a post on how to adjust the window
any help is appriciated.

Thanks for the replies.

Carpe dm,

Any Ideas.
