Targa top wind noise

[carsinc]

If you have wind noise and have a roller latch top check your latches. When broken they still turn but have way too much play and when driving air enters.

Dan,

Could you post pictures of the two different latches, or a description so we know which ones we have on our cars?

On a similar note, I just glued one of your front seals on yesterday and my top (very recently rebuilt by yourself) now sits perfect on the quarter windows, maybe my 20+ years of rain dripping on my forearm are done. I have to adjust the valves and put oil in before I can test it on the road.

Thanks,
Rutager

The roller latch style top was used 1986-94. The looseness can cause tops to fly off. You have hook style and these either work or don't.

Dan, thanks for this and all your help with targa top issues. If the roller style is broken, are they noticeably loose when you grab the top and try to wiggle it around? My 87 has wind noise, but I never thought the rollers were bad.

Either latch is damaged, latch holding bolts are loose or latch needs adjusted tighter.
To be sure look at latch when top is off the car.
