Default C6 solid targa top wind noise

My C6 solid targa top has wind noise from front and rear of the top ... I haven't been able to find new weather strip for the front and rear of the targa top.

Anyone know how to fix this?

You can adjust the latches so the top sits a little lower. That may help.

Is the top original to the car? Many of the defective 2005 through early 2007 tops made their way back into the used marketplace. The adhesive that attaches the outer skin begins to fail. The first symptom is wind noise (usually from the front). Every used targa top sold without latch hardware should be considered defective unless proven otherwise.
