Everyone is happy about the frameless doors, and I dont know if we should be

[deejaybee]

Frame less doors are lighter, and they look great with the top off. BUT, with the top on the framed door has a better seal with the window. Its easier to seal the top of the door to the top than the top of the window to top. I think some people will not like it, because I do see it having some wind noise, especially for us people who actually take the top on and off a lot.

The windows on my Challenger are frameless and it's the quietest interior on any car I've ever owned. If the window seal is done correctly, I don't know how much difference a window frame makes.

Now, let's discuss tire noise.

Go Nitto Mud Grapplers, or don't go deaf.

Man, I swear if there’s a hint of tire noise with the Sasquatch package I’m out!

I think the frameless would help with handling between the going on and off process. Maybe better to store or just have to be more creative than our Jeep counterparts, meaning in a garage storing situation. Looks wise I prefer the frameless, but the question will be how do they do over time with possible leaks and such.

Now, let's discuss tire noise.

I need a certain level of road noise to drown out the tinnitus. Last thing I want to do with my passenger is carry on a conversation anyway. Talking is way overrated. First couple of 4wds I owned didn't even have a radio, not that I could have heard it over exhaust and tires.

Mustangs have had this for years. We have few problems with wind noise.

Did you remove your doors a lot?

Did you remove your doors a lot?

Why would removal of the door effect anything?

The frameless windows in my Corvette seem to suck inward when going above 150 mph, resulting in a lot of road noise. I don't think that this will be a problem in the Bronco. I think frameless windows in the Bronco will be just fine.

That’s strange mine didn’t seem to have any wind noise until about 179 mph but then when I went 210 it got quiet

No - just that air pressure differences between inside and outside increase with speed and adds to wind noise.

Just get a blow dryer (should be one of the 200 accessories), plug it in to the power outlet and turn it on when driving. That should drown out any noise you're talking about.

I suspect the mustang is a little more aerodynamic than the Bronco, and less likely to be buffetted as harshly.
