Default Targa 1...Rain 0...finally!!!

Just wanted to toot my own horn...After 3 years of farting around with fit and new seals, I finally got the T-top to be a leak free zone in a heavy downpour up to about 90 mph for the 1st time!!!!

Now to paint those taillight lenses.....

I can just see it : "Sorry officer, I know it's a 55 limit but I was testing out my Targa top"......

....can you still remove the Targa panels with all that silicone sealant holding them down?

What did you adjusted, adjusted, adjusted? I have looked at my top a couple of times in the month i have owned the car and have been somewhat at a loss for what to try adjusting. My driver side seems to sit a bit higher than the right when installed and i get significant wind noise over 75 so am curious to know about what can and cannot be adusted.

I haven't had it in rain (and am trying to avoid that anyway) so i don't know if i have any leaks or not.
