| Post subject: | Skyslider wind noise |
Ok I am wondering if any one with a Skyslider has tryed to reduce wind noise. I thought maybe taking 2 inch or 3 inch wide Masking tape and taping the Gaps might help. There is a Gap between the Rubber gasket and Cloth top. If someone try this already please let me know it is helped at all? I would do it my self, but the wife said no. She makes the payments so I have no choice but the listen to her. I leave Thursday for a 500 mile trip. if this works I am taken tape and when she says darn i wish we had, i can pull over and do it. |

haha no i've never thought of doing that i done think thats the issue though the issue tends to be with the header, which is the rubber molding attached to the actual body of the jeep. thats why i think a wind deflector would work... which is exactly why i'm making one

Agree with you. if i had time, I would test this out. But getting that Jeep away from is not easy.. oh well.. |

Rigg's Brothers, the convertible specialist I took my Jeep to, taped off the SkySlider when they tested it. They said it reduced the noise somewhat and believe that a deflector would further reduce the noise. I am still waiting on a response from them after they hear back from their vendors. I am also anxious to see Jeepin_it_real's deflector, because I may follow suit. There was a guy selling deflectors on the web that he made from two deflectors. Below are the pictures that he sent me. I don't think he is making them anymore, though.

This project went cold or off line... Not sure it will ever happen. Unless a factory picks it up... |
