Considering that the country is now in the extra wet period of the year. I was wondering how the T350t's were holding up with regard to the Targa Panels against the Weather. As I am currently deciding whether to go for a C or a T.

Can any owners comment please?

A few squeaks from the panels at idle but no leaks.

In fact, isn't it nice to see that there have only been satisfied comments posted by T350 owners Rich...

Fine. The wind noise gets going >95 but totally water tight. Only thing I had was a very sharp nasty squeak from one of the panels (actually took ages to locate it). Turned out to be the metal of the little locator brackets rubbing on the carbon fibre. Only happened if i hit a pot-hole or the road surface was bad enough. Cured it by taking off the panel and putting a dab of grease in the molded bit of the centre-bar where the metal bracket sits. Quiet as a mouse now.

Admittedly the current weather makes them very redundant but come the summer I'll never have them on! The noise is pants-stirring

Oh, one more thing, anyone else get water trapped under the back edge of the panels when washing the car? Its really annoying as it leaks out a random number of minutes AFTER you've dried the rest of the bodywork so you end up with two little dribbles coming from the lower edge of the panels
