Targa needs a top refresh

Saw this on the road today at speed. As a targa owner, it made wonder what mine looks like at speed.

Sort of the equivalent of "do these pants make my butt look big?"

Now I have to have someone take my Targa pic so I can see if its doing this as well.

You'll know it, if it does. The wind noise will be great.
There are tabs that have to be hooked in on the leading edge...I think 4 of them.
If your top is adjusted right...there should be no wind noise with the windows up.

I guess the balloon effect would give it away.

That’ll happen to any Targa from extended high speed driving.
