Joey: I have very little wind if any coming between the top & windshield.
As far as wind effects on the top , theres very little the top does not baloon
up like the newer cars do. I do have wind wings made of real glass, that shurly helps. I can wear a cap or hat in the car and dont have to worry them blowing off. I have no seal on my top because the top and windshield have to slide on one another with the flexing of the car

You may want to look at the Lebaron-Bonney windshield/top seal.
It's the round windlace looking piece that runs along the backside of the oak header.

A lot depends on the aerodynamics of a particular car, but I find the wind blows rainwater in circles on the flat windshield until it gains enough weight to run down and off to the sides.

I use Lexan for windwings since the stock size ones are overly heavy and in cold weather they tend to work their way out of the clamp and down.
I made a set of stock size - taking the 2" chop into account - Lexan windwings.
They blocked off too much wind to leave em on in the summer, so the size in the pic was chosen after a little trial and error.

The top has real glass, but imo it's too heavy and I should have replaced it with Lexan when I installed the top.

How do wing windows attach to the windshield posts? I don't really like the look of them, but if they can be temporarily installed and removed without hassle, i might consider a pair for long trips...
