The Griff has an annoying speed related whistle from the passenger window. Suspicion falls on the seal at the top of the glass as opening the window calms it down a bit.There aren't any obvious gaps any where else, but also the said seal seems ok.

Have others had this problem and cured it ?

Mine has just been adjusted to get rid of that same problem. In my case, the window was tilting in too far so that it did not sit central to the targa panel seal - There is a screw just below the outer brush seal that alters the alignment of the ali guide that restrains the leading edge of the glass.

Sorry, can't be any help, but I have a similar issue with the drivers side - it goes away (or can't be heard) with the roof off.

More sunny days please. cool

I had this once. There is a felt strip inside the aluminium channel that the window sits in. Over time, this felt seems to work its way out into the bottom of the door and the glass sits slightly crooked in the frame and allows whistling at high speed, followed eventually by rattling at any speed...

Correct but when they adjusted mine (raising the glass) it also pulled the top trailing edge of the glass out.

Also, don't forget that the roof can be positioned a few mm's either way side to side meaning that sometimes you may have a gap and other times not.
