I have the later targa panel fitments, not sure which you have. If you have the earlier ones, then the suggestions below are probably not relevant.

On mine the screw/bracket assembly at the rear needs a few washers adding or removing either side of the fastening widget to help you screw it down tight. Too many washers and it won't do up tight enough, too few and you might not be able to turn the knob to tighten smoothly. Trial and error until you get it right.

Also, the panel needs to be dead centre over the hole, it kind of seats in place when it is positioned correctly. I had a lot of wind noise above 60mph before I got used to doing this right (still takes an age to fit them correctly).

I still get more noise than I want at 120ish (not been any faster yet), but at cruise altitude the car is a lot quieter than I expected.
