Hey folks - I know.... Dead Horse + Big Stick = this topic... but...


I swear, the lat time I took my Jeep into the dealer, and complained about the skyslider, they DID help it, now I'm just trying to figure out what they did (*ahem - Bettsy? You listening?*)

The dealer told me that they adjusted the header (i think), and cleaned out the dust in it (dust? really? in January/Calgary?, muck/dirt/slush maybe, but dust?)?

Anybody know what they ACTUALLY did?
*coughbettsycoughcough*

Today heading out to the mountains was definitely LOUD about half way there. Just curious is this is an adjustment I could make on my own in the parking lot/on the fly?

Thanks
BrendonR

Thanks Bettsy - yeah, it did seem to work - at least for awhile. If it's something I can do on the fly/in the parking lot/side of the road etc... then hey, I'd actually be pretty happy

@Brendon:
I'm glad to hear that at least your dealership is trying to fix your noise issues. My service dept. has taken a more militant approach to mine and refuses to even go for a drive in it. I drove a 2010 KK w/ SkySlider at the dealership and it was quiet even at 85 mph, so I know I am not exaggerating the noise.

@Bettsyboy:
I will be interestedto hear what you guys did. Maybe I can talk my dealership into doing the same for mine or do it myself.

@Jeepin
Can't wait to see your deflector, man. :rockon:
