For me personally, I think moving from soft top to the TOR hardtop, there were already present squeaks and rattles that either I attributed to the soft top or were drowned out by the wind noise, that are more evident/louder with the hardtop.
There’s a definite overall difference in general noise...
It wasn't really bad, and I couldn't feel any air coming through, before or after. I just remembered people with the OEM HT trying to further quieten it by shoving pipe insulation in gaps, so I figured I'd experiment.
I've gone from listening to sportstalk radio at 10-11 volume, to about 8...
So, after TOR's response here about making sure the Targa was properly "centered" before latching down, I re-installed my piece of pipe insulation across the front, and made sure the Targa was centered and snugly latched last night.
I feel like it did make some difference this morning, while on...
Of course, I went out and checked both sides as soon as I read this post. I latched the driver side where it was nice and tight up against the Bronco. Walked around to the passenger side and immediately saw the sizable gap ( I could fit the tip of my pinkie finger in there).
So I can definitely...
Honestly, I don’t think it made much, if any difference. I took it out last night and it sounded about the same to me today.
I really don’t feel like I have wind noise coming in at the front edge or the targa, so much as just overall “wind on the vertical windshield”.
