Targa top makes noise at low speed 5-10 mph does not make a difference if windows are up or down ?
The seals are in good condition.
Any suggestions ?

Several things can cause that. Wrong top. Early and late tops have different width and height rubber block that fit into the rear latch tops. Worn rear latch hooks or worn compressed rear seal. Loose front latches.

Get out a quarter and a nickle. Place each one in between the bumps on the rear latch. If a quarter fits it is an early latch. A nickle will fit a laye latch. Then place the coins on the top of the rubber block to see if the top matches the latches.
