Targa top wind noise

Got my first 911 yesterday night, absolutely loving it..

took it for a run to work today, part motorway, and was a suprised by the amount of wind noise off the targa top. I expected a little, but not as much as it made. I reckon most of it's probably from the lip of the targa top projecting above the windscreen, but can't fold it down.

As you have all probably heard this many times before, is there anything simple I can do to reduce the amount of noise?

Thanks
 
Welcome,

Yes, I too have a Targa which exhibits more noise above 70mph, haven't yet embarked on replacing all the seals but even if you do there is no guarantee that all the noise will disappear, something of a science here it seems. Forest Fine are the experts if you have the funds!
Cheapest solution is a strip of duct tape along the front edge but reserve yourself 15p for the bown paper bag over your head if you elect for this option[:)].
Drive my car in dry weather only (garage queen) so not much of an issue really [;)]........Cheap solution!....The top is nearly always off.
