I did contact support, and they told me reinstall and tighten the bolts down more. I did those and no help.
I did notice that most of the noise was at higher speeds.
There is a Velcro wrapper support bar you can see for inside the cab. I wrapped the bar in foam and duct tape, this cut down 89-90% of the noise, when I went back out on the Highway.
Hope this helps.

Been mentioned many times. Not sure I’d use duct tape though. That will become a sticky mess in the heat. The Velcro should be more than enough to hold the foam in place.

Keep us updated if you would please.
Hi. Got a replacement. Much better. Has the two additional halo brackets. Going to start a new thread regarding a center rear bracket issue.

Anyone have the best top sunrider? I installed one on my two door and the wind noise at 70 is unbearable. I tried adjusting the top forward as much as possible, and it's still extremely loud. It's almost like it isn't close enough to the header and wind gets in between the soft top and the weatherstrip on the header. Love the idea of the thing, but would not be able to tolerate the noise level.

Mine sounds the same as when the 2 panels are on. But mine has a tight seal.
