Be careful, the seal isn't supposed to be a real water seal.  If you
succeed in making it one you'll have your own personal lake up there. ;)

Are you sure it's coming from the carrier?  Does your canvas balloon in?
 On my '75 I had terrible air leaks where the top met the carrier, that
created a lot of wind noise.  The canvas would literally inflate inwards
at highway speeds.  I used foam air conditioner weatherstripping to fill
the gaps, and it cut down the noise.  (The top was twisted in front --
the wood brace laid up inside the fiberglass had warped.)
