Bestop TrekTop flapping noise.

Thanks dude! Mine just started making this sound the past couple weeks. Definitely on my to do list now

It's seems to start as the temps get over 80 or so.

Mine does this, as well. I've got the Velcro as tight as I can go without overshooting the hook and loop, so this might work. Is that a flat weatherstrip, or silicone molded into like a D shape?

As an aside, have you had to tighten your screws yet? I had some noise from a bracket over the driver's head. It turned out that ALL the screws holding the brackets to the roll cage, as well as everything holding the windows in, was extremely loose. I'm going to have to make it a quarterly maintenance item to completely open the top and tighten everything.

Yeah just some flat foam type weather strip that gives some extra width to the metal and cushions any flapping that might still happen.

Thanks again for the suggestion. Picked up a roll of adhesive backed foam weatherstripping from HD. So far, its done the trick. No flapping sounds at all now

I put my hard top back on as it's about to hit 100+ with 200% humidity here for summer. My soft top is spring and fall!
