Default T-Tops - Wind noise?

So this is my first camaro with T-Tops. Just brought it home, it's a 1994 Z28 - on my drive home from picking it up (a 21.5 hour drive), you can hear wind on the drivers side - basically right behind the left side of your head. The car has been obviously garage kept for the last 17 years, only had 32k mileage and the tops don't leak. Is this just a common occurrence, or something I need to address?

Check the seals, pinpoint where the wind is coming in and either replace the seals or put in some sealant

I did take a look at the rubber, all looks really well, but you're right probably not a bad idea to go ahead and replace it. Doesn't leak, so I can take my time, I was just more curious if it was normal.

It's pretty normal these cars undergo some wear and tear here and there (I'm a poet ) so it's not a bad idea to replace the small little components

or just take them out (weather permiting) then there will be a reason for wind noise
