Integrated Roof/Windshield LED Light Bar System for 2021+ Ford Bronco

[2door]

After driving around with the Oracle light bar installed on my 2 door OBX for some time, I decided to remove it and make some tweaks to make it quieter. It definitely did not produce as much noise as an uncovered light bar would do, but still it was obvious that it was adding up some extra dBs. The plastic cowl was whistling and flapping at highway speeds.

I decided to seal the gap between the light bar and the cowl with an adhesive neoprene tape. I also added two pieces of the tape along the back edge of the cowl – the were two large gaps between the windshield frame and the lightbar cover. Neoprene is a closed cell material, so it doesn't soak up any moisture. It can also tolerate temperatures as high as 275F°.

I'm super happy with the result! Now I don't hear any noise coming from the lightbar. It's like it's not even there.

There's one side effect though. Due to the additional thickness of the foam tape and soft plastic of the cowl, its lower edge sits a little bit lower on the windshield and slightly interferes with the wipers. I already ordered a pair of 15" wiper blades – they should solve this issue.

@ORACLE Lighting Have you guys created a fix for the wind noise (rattling, vibration) at highway speeds? I meant to post this back in late November, but life got in the way and I was out of the country till recently.

I'm going to post a few clips of the wind noise (Google Drive link below).

The first time I heard this was going down to Indiana for an off road trip, shortly after installing the lightbar. I'm lucky I even came back home alive and not dumped in the middle of cornfields. My friend had to endure the 6 hour round trip with the "chainsaw type" noise as he called it.

In normal city driving, up to 45 mph, it really isn't noticeable. Once you get 55+ is where it gets unbearable. I also just noticed that the support "braces" in front are broken, pictured below. I appreciate any insight on this.
