My recently purchased XK convertible has top noise over 75 mph with top up. Any suggestions to eliminate? Thanks!

 

Obvious solution is to drive with the top down.

To broad of a description. Is it wind noise or rattling or vibration. Have you reset the windows. What do the seal/gaskets look like . Have you taken it to a touchless car wash to see if you have any leaks. Also is it the original top or a replacement. Does the front latch securely.
My bride likes to drive on I-84 or I-78 at 80 mph and I find this to be the quietest convert I have ever had. Try to be as specific as possible. Does it start at 75 or is it 60 . Could it be tires or maybe something in he doors and so on.

 

thank you for responding. noise starts after 75 mph. top appears to have tight seal. Windows are up. Tires are new. Have no history as to car washes, prior problems. Any ideas?

 

Stand outside the car with the engine off and all doors locked. Approach the driver's door and watch the upper edge of the glass while pulling the door handle. Does the glass drop down slightly to clear the weatherstrip before the door opens? Now do the same thing while closing the driver's door with the window fully up. Right after the door is closed, does the glass go up a little bit to fit properly into the weatherstrip channel? Repeat for the passenger side.

If the door glass does not properly index, the gap will be a source of wind noise. See your Owners Handbook for the easy reset procedure.

 

What is a "top noise"? Is it wind noise? Does the top flap? In order to get a meaningful help, it would be better if you could define just what it is you mean by the term "top noise".

 

Thank you Stuart,
