Hello forum!
I’ve been having issues with the noise isolation with the soft cover up.

getting at higher speeds (60+ ish) I start to hear a whistle, most likely from the improper wind insulation coming from around the left window.

I imagine this may be a common problem (for all convertible autos) but What are your suggestions to proper insulate the cabin?
I’ve been thinking on replacing all the plastic seals around the door, windows and soft cover.

Thanks for any help!

Adjustment of the angle of the glass so it fits against the rubber seal is possible, have a look at this thread
Also a good idea to treat all the rubbers with https://www.amazon.co.uk/Gummi-Pflege-Rubber-Stick-Postage/dp/B007TNOQDI
It conditions the rubber and keeps it soft so it seals better. Given the climate you live in its well worth using this a couple of times a year to keep the rubber supple.
