Just replaced the weatherstip above the windshield frame. Got the right weatherstip from Dan at carsinc (great guy)
How much wind noise can I possibly expect to eliminate? Are Targas just inherently noisy?

Almost all Targas/Convertibles have some wind noise.

Depending on cross winds my Targa is not too noisy, I usuauly get more wind noise from the door mirrors.

Some seals were replaced about 8 years ago.

Only above 70 do I start to hear some wind noise coming from the top.

My Targa has no wind noise at all. The top is a rebuilt one from Carsinc and I have a new seal over the windshield and both sides at window tops. There is quite a bit of road and engine background noise over 60-70 MPH. I only put my top on if it is raining, and it doesn't do that much where I live!

The top on my '72 targa used to lift at the rear at highway speeds which made a really loud whistling noise. Pushing it further up used to kill the whistle but I was always worried that it was going to pop out leaving me with a huge repair/replacement bill.

I have a sunroof coupe now... no noise, no fear of losing the roof.

My noise comes from the top of the side windows above 65/70. Not too bad. I tested two that were both noisier.

My car is quieter with the top off than with it on.

My guess is that top needs to be re-covered and also new front seal is in order... lots of noise from the front and I have been told from people behind me that top bubbles / raises up when driving at speeds over 60.

Another item on the endless repair / improve list...
