Had a Seibon Mugen and a now an OEM, both can be adjusted to reduce wind noise to nil, depends upon the particular HT. Adjustments can be performed in the front and rear latches, seals and top front edge with additional seal and shims under the front latches. All a matter of patience.

add a headliner with sound proofing, problem solved.


just use soundmat, its easy to apply to a mugen hardtop if thats your concern and pick out a fabric you like and just spray glue it with good spray glue, becarefull bc some spray glues will fail in hot weather and will allow the fabric to fall off.

His question was Vis vs Oem. Oem and Mugen are both great. VIS isnt nearly as nice. I own a Oem hardtop
