@William3: I have good news.
First, let me put this in perspective. There are certain sounds that are more-or-less the same for all of us and we can use as a measure of loudness. For example: The sound of the climate control with the blower on 3 or the sounds of the tires at 60 mph or the sound when passing a truck.
Prior to the fix, at 40 mph the interior wind noise was louder than the blower set on 3. At 60 mph, the interior wind noise was louder than the sound of passing a truck. After the fix, the vehicle remained silent at 40 mph. At 60 mph, the sound was barely perceptible over the blower set to 3. With the blower off, the interior sound was "pleasant." I could have held a normal conversation had I not been alone (on my way to work). At 70 mph, I could hear wind noise, but this time it sounded like it was coming from outside. It was definitely louder than what I was used to with my Mercedes SL hard top convertible, but it was very similar to what I remember from other people's soft top convertibles. It was around the same volume as what I believe is the sound from the tires, and still quieter than the noise from passing a truck.
I was going to take pictures of the fix, but yesterday was Halloween, so I was enlisted to decorate the house and give out candy. By the time that was done, it was pitch black and I hadn't tested the fix, so I wasn't sure I had something to tell you about. As I was doing the fix, I came up with a very cosmetic solution which I am sure you will be very happy with.
So, either today at lunch, or tonight after work, I will take some pictures and show you the fix. It will take longer to go to the store to get the materials then it will be to fix it.
P.S. I noticed that my driver side door and passenger door have different amounts of leakage. That's how I came up with my better fix, but it also made me realize that I owe cinergi an apology. It is very likely that we are all dealing with differing amounts of noise. I believe that the problem is with the design of the seal for the soft top (I don't have a hard top upon which to comment). The rubber seal from the convertible top, when snapped into place, displaces the door seal making a small gap. I believe the variable is the seal on the soft top. That is why I leak less on the passenger side than the driver side. The fix, simply reduces that effect. Pictures later...
