2 questions for TT roadster drivers...
'lo...
1.) For those of you with full-leather seats, do you have any problems with perspiration on your backs while driving with the top down in sunny weather?
2.) How bad is the wind noise when driving with the top up?
thanks,

1/ I HAVE THE ALACANTRA TRIM INSERT.
THE CAR IS COMFORTABLE WITH TOP DOWN UP TO SAY 28 DEGREES CELCIUS. ABOVE THAT WITH DIRECT SUN YOUR BRAINS WOULD FRY, AND THAT GOES FOR ANY OPEN CAR.
2/ WIND NOISE NON EXISTENT, HOWEVER AS WITH ANY RAG TOP CAR THE GENERAL NOISE INSULATION IS NOT AS GOOD AS A TIN TOP, BUT YOU GET USED TO IT.

Re: 2 questions for TT roadster drivers...
To answer your questions :
1 - I have had no real issues with the leather seats and persperation. But keeping the leather clean and conditioned is key.
2 - The roadster is remakably quiet with the top up. Audi in my opinion, did a great job in engineering the top and seals around the glass. The only thing I want to add is the inner liner to give a more finished appearance to the top when it is up.
Enjoy !

Because I use a Tonneau when parked, the seats dont get too hot. When driving there is enough circulation to keep you cool.
The top-up driving is relatively quiet. As others have suggested, there is a aftermarket liner available to supply noise reduction and better insulation (not needed on the West Coast).

Re: 2 questions for TT roadster drivers...
Regarding perspiration, it hasn't been a problem. On any day hot enough to make me sweat profusely, I might not put the top up. I'd have the AC blasting away.
The seats, BTW, are extremely comfortable.
I find the car fairly quiet with the top up. Many years ago I owned a TR-3 and and MGB. Now THOSE were noisy cars with the tops up. The TR-3 in particular was a cacophany of strange sounds.
