Tamora wind noise

[Jalfonse]

I get quite a bit of wind noise coming from the front top corner of the roof/door glass join, much worse on drivers side than on passenger. The seal that runs down the windscreen frame doesn't seem to get fully compressed by the door glass, I imagine its quite common but has anyone found a solution or a company/trimmer that can fix this?

Yes. I fitted a rubber edge strip to the top of the glass. Replacing the rubber that fits in the Targa seal also helps.

I get this but only over 80 when the air pressure pulls on the window glass and pops it past the top seal. I did read that you can adjust the window to fit tighter to the seal so I am going to give that a bash.

Thanks for the responses, please let me know how you adjust the door glass to better fit the seal and what degrees of freedom you have, I would need to adjust the glass position by moving the top edge inwards towards the interior of the car, is this possible?

I have bought some extra rubber seal and also fitted an extra spacer between the seal and roof to increase the 'squeeze' on the closed window, this helped a bit but not fully.

Cheers,

Just to follow up on this point, I think it is possible and I am going to do it myself so will post pics. I cant for a couple of weeks though as I am away.
