Default Roof noise

recently getting wind noise from the roof I have a clear plastic roof. I took it to Chevy and they said they have to adjust the plastic around the A pillar and visor area on the driver’s side to stop the noise. now it’s worse.. I am taking it back tomorrow. Have you ever heard of this a fix? I assumed they would just replace the gaskets but they said they were fine, I feel like they are lying to me, any ideas..

Squeaks, rattles, and pops; are common with the removable roof. Wind noise has been reported but is much less common.
Maybe they are lying, or maybe they are correct and just need another shot at it.

Can you see any gaps or protrusions when you look at it in good light?

No i cant see light threw it.. I assumed it was the gasket and i have heard of stories of roofs flying off. I have cleaned the gaskets on the roof and car, figured maybe some dirt on the gasket prevented a good seal. They have the car know and going to try and fix it up right.

I have quite a roar from the A post roof joint. I have not done anything yet but it is quite annoying.
