T Top makes a lot of noise...

Hey all. I am pretty new to the board so i hope that I am posting this in the right place. Well, anyways here is is my problem:

When I am driving it sounds like there is a crap load of windresistance at my driver's side ttop. Could it be that I just need new seals up there? I mean it is so loud that I have turn the radio up pretty loud to hear it when doing like 80mph.

Thanks

Bill

What is the a and b pillar trim. The a pillar is the one that runs with the windshield I think. Is the B pillar the runs down the backside of the window right behind my head when in the seat?

How do you adjust them.

Thanks

Bill

first remove the A pillar trim, that is accomplished by removing the one screw near the latch when the t-top is out, then pull down and foward i think to remove the plastic trim, B pillar is easier, 2 screws i beleive then it comes off, then u need to loosen the 2 bolts on the latches, then they will allow adjustment, up or down adjustment accordingly
