Has anyone tried using a spacer under the rear of the Targa top, say about an inch or two to make a vent? Since my top has to be and is bolted down in the rear I thought this might help break the vacuum that forms behind the rear window? I have seen a couple with plexiglass/lexan rear windows with several holes across the width which would do the same thing I think?
