It's more than about the noise, it's about the wind and pressure changes.I have the dual top option ordered with the MOD top so I can pull rear windows....but after seeing the new video of how easily the soft top works, and driving around today, I'm wondering if I want to go to the trouble of switching tops twice a year. I'm in Chicagoland, and for 5 months we won't have a top down! But just beginning to think I don't need the MOD top...yes, it would be quieter when it's on (5 months), warmer (for 5 months) and probably a bit better against winter elements (but I have a garage!)...
What am I missing?
This thread is not about cupholders.
Since you are from the Chicagoland area, Try driving down 39/51 (north/South road) at 65/70 on a windy day with a soft top and the answer will be more than apparent, especially when an 18 wheeler flys by you. Windows flap uncontrollably, top gets sucked up and down, wind whistles like you're in a hurricane, and the pressure changes are annoying. (These experiences were from a Jeep which I owned. note the past tense).
If you are primarily driving around town, then soft tops are nice, but in my estimation, if you intend to drive highway speeds, especially in the plain states, then all bets are off for soft tops.
