Top Buzzing Sound

fins · 10-14-2016, 07:38 PM

I searched, no luck. Before I start tracking down the cause of this noise: an annoying buzzing sound coming from driver side roof at around ear level. Only does it when top is up and at speeds above 40 mph. Has anybody ever run in this issue?

Thanks in advance, fellow roadster owners!

Hi

I don't believe I've had a problem like that, but these old ears of mine have a built in buzzing sound so maybe I have & don't know it.

It sounds like it must be something to do with air getting in somewhere. Do you see any tears in your weather stripping along that side? Is it with your windows all the way up?

No, sir. The sound goes away once it gets warm. So I'm thinking there are some vinyl parts vibrating back there. I've conditioned as much of the vinyl parts I can get a hold of. We'll see what happens next drive.

Have you tried applying pressure on various spots on the top to see if the noise stops or changes? The window. The weatherstripping. Points on the top itself.
