Default Wind noise solid top

After 2 days and 200 miles , I have lots of wind noise coming from the center of my solid removable top . drove 1140 miles yesterday , if I crack a window it helped a lot. Anybody else have this noise?

There shouldn't be any wind noise at all. Remove the top and see if you can find an area of weatherstripping that is crushed or misaligned. You may just have to reseat the top or straighten out some of the rubber seal. The rear latch may also not be adjusted properly. If it's not obvious, let the dealer adjust it under warranty. This should be a very easy fix.

No wind noise hear....3170 miles, had the car for 2 1/2 wks. I would get that checked if relatching it and checking the weatherstripping did not resolve the problem.

Should be easy, but ISN't.

Actually, from what I remember reading, there are over 5 different adjustments, fore, aft, up, down sidways, (for each of the latches, requiring talent and tools), NONE of which, I think, the "ordinary" corvette owner can do.

Heck, after reading the "top adjustment" procedure from GM, I do not think even a GM Technician could do it!

When I traded my lexan for my arctic white top, I looked at a copy of the GM fitment directions (found elsewhere on this forum, where I do not remember).................whew.......... .....good luck!!

BTW, mine fit a bit tight, thank goodness!
