Dang. Disappointing you are having the sound already. Do you have an idea how the volume/type of sound on your brand new vehicle, compares to some other vehicles around here with many more miles?
I do not, I have yet to meet up with any of the locals and the few random ones I've run into at the gas station or whatever were autos or I didn't know this was an issue and didn't listen.
That's a bummer, sorry to hear you have this. I picked mine up on Saturday, so far 200+ miles and, dare I say, no noise. I do have a lot of wind noise, when on a phone call everyone comments on that awful wind noise.
Sorry to hear you are having this problem, I picked up my Badlands Sasquatch 2 Door Saturday. I have 200 miles as of now and nothing. I do have a lot of wind noise, when on the cell phone all have commented on what is that AWFUL wind noise, I hope that is my only complaint on noise I'll have to deal with. No matter, we all all in this together, I would be interested in knowing out of all the Manuals delivered so far, how many have issues. Not just from this site but the thousands who have the MT and are not part of any Forum.
I don't think the wind noise is that bad? Do you have the sound deadener in yours? I haven't taken it on the highway yet, but have gone over 60 mph and thought it was more than acceptable
Some hard top front panels have big gaps in the weatherstripping and cause a lot of noise.
I do have the sound deadener, my wife even commented on the wind noise. My son suggested I take off the top to be sure it is seated properly. I plan on doing that and applying some Gummie-Pflege to the seals - https://www.getbmwparts.com/oem-parts/bmw-bmw-gummi-pflege-rubber-care-83192449390 - this product is a BWM lubricant I used many times on my M3 sunroof, door and window seals, its an amazing product, keeping the seals soft and pliable with an annual application and helps in the winter with the freeze conditions. Its has the consistency of vaseline, but leaves no residue on the surfaces after application. Figure its worth a try.
Northern IL and convoy
i have this also, AND its my second badlands, put 15K miles on first one and have 12K on this one, both made that noise always goes away when warm, i noticed it from the start and didnt think anything about it, today is the first day i totally tested it by moving shifter towards 6th and yep same as yall been reporting!!
More and more I honestly think it's all of them with varying severity. Bad design.
That would be a bummer.
During my short time test driving a Bronco, I liked the feel and performance of the manual. Plus Ford even came through with the crawler gear. Hope it all works out.
