2 door hardtop wind noise

[BigMac]

Overall my 2D is pretty quiet with noise obviously louder as speed increases, but no louder than the several convertible (cars) that I've owned. I DO have an "imperfect seal" somewhere on the back side of the passenger window that once I find it I'll try the vacuum line trick. Hard to check for passenger door seals while driving!

I had a similar wind noise and found it was coming from the area between the two roof tops (dead centerline of the vehicle).
Where these panels meet at the top of the windshield on my 2 Dr is a space where can hide my wallet if needed.
I noticed when I hide the wallet and drove the noise went away.
Check yours out.
I added a seal here

Huh, I feel left out of this conversation as my two door is just normally noisy... in fact I added an exhaust to make it appropriately louder. Hmm.

Well, I have to say that even without putting a seal in on the passenger side... my Bronco 2Dr is quieter than my wife's 2016 Forester. So I guess its all relative.

Yep, I think that if I rode in another Bronco I'd hear the same thing. I appreciate all of the feedback. I'm sure that I'll keep the Bronco. It's time for wheels and tires though. Cheers!

My 2-door is very loud. I found a lot of the noise was coming from the tires especially on the grooved concrete highways here in SoCal. Installing sound deadening and then a 3 in 1 sound insulation on the entire tub and the doors make a huge improvement. It was a real pain in the ass to remove the interior but worth it in the end.

I'm dropping at the dealer tomorrow for alarm going off due to hood being open, when not opened. I'm going to have the top looked at for seal leaks. I'll keep the chat posted.

My 2-Door arrived without a roof rack (dealership screwed up), but 4 months later I found a used one on FB Marketplace and installed it.
I did bot notice a real difference in wind noise after the install...just saying!

Mine is very quiet, with roof rack.
