Hardtop fixing

Hi all,

Can someone in the know offer any advice. I fitted my new hardtop and I am getting some wind noise from the drivers side where it meets the windscreen.

Is there a way of adjusting the fitting to get a tighter seal?

Thanks :driving:
 
This from a search on 'hardtop wind noise':
There is adjustment where the spikes fit into the holes but dont over do it as it pulls the hard top down which inturn will rub. Instructions suggest a 5mm gap around the bottom edge of the hard top. You may get some wind noise along the leading edge where it sits on the top windscreen rubber, i had this but just fitted a strip of draft excluder which sorted it.
 
I have never been able to remove the wind noise completely, no matter how much adjusting i do. I have now given up and just live with it even though it is annoying as hell.
If you fancy trying to adjust it here is a guide. It was saved as jpegs on my phone so you will have to re-order them so the steps are in order
