T350T Air Noise
Discussion
Hi all
Been away for a while but now got my T350T with the so-not-called Red Rose pack on the road - still bedding down the engine but it very rapid, dreamlike.... A few niggles, much like the T350C I had but nothing a bit of dealer pestering won't fix. Stardust Silver with Black and Portland Grey inside.
One question - anyone know how to (or previos post link!) fit the targa lids to minimise the air noise above 80mph. Over 110mph it's almost unbearable (on the track of course!). Ideas or similar experiences welcome!

I'll assume you've got the later roof fitments (screws at the rear).
I find it takes an age to get the panels to fit with a really good seal. Mine now only tend to 'depressurise' at over 130
Firstly, tighten the rear bolts up so they keep out of the way, then insert the front of the panel and let it sit into place. After this get behind the car and give a gentle shove to the rear of the panel evenly from each rear corner. If you get it right you'll feel it slip into place. Back inside the car you should now see the lip on the inside of the panel evenly positioning around the whole circumference. Now tighten the rear clips. You may find the bolts easier to fully tighten if you put one washer to the lower side of the cam fastener thingy (i.e closer to you). Don't have too many washers above the cam fastener thingy or you may fully tighten the bolt before the seal is made.
I also keep a tiny screwdriver in the glovebox to insert in the front brackets and give them a quick 'tug' inwards/downwards to tighten the seal. Be careful doing this as you can align the roof too far forwards and it will never seal at the rear.
