Hard top wind noise

[BK1]

Some tops are better then others. Has anyone tried any type of weather stripping laying in the channel accross roof between two front panels and the mid panel? Maybe some type of door seal? Just to quiet it up a bit.

There's been a few posts on B6G where people have added all kinds of extra pieces to cut down on the wind noise, including weather stripping. Should come up in the search.

Here's one, for example: https://www.bronco6g.com/forum/thre...dition-plus-bonus-fix-for-bad-adhesive.64146/

I followed this and had good results. There's still some wind noise present, but it feels more controlled/stable now if that makes sense.

I put pipe insulation on the outside of both pillars like the guy did in the link mentioned above and it made a decent difference. I also noticed when I put my hard top back on this winter it has a new wind noise sound from the passenger front panel. My bronco does have a fair amount of wind noise from the hard top but most of the interior noise my bronco has is just road noise from the vehicle itself. It’s just not a quiet vehicle. If you drive with the hard top off or a soft top in the summer you will appreciate the hard top when you put it back on.

I feel like with a Bronco you’ll just have to get used to the lack of insulation and wind noise. You can try adding seals and whatnot but the wind noise is always going to be pretty much noticeable. That’s just a compromise you have to make when owning a car with a removable top

Some are better then others. I have had 5, 2 door wildtrack was the worst, had loud whistle. New everglades just has some wind noise around middle between passengers. May put piece of tape from door to door over the gap between front and mid and see what that does. Atleast i will know where to start..

Forgot to add this earlier, but in my experience, when I fixed the wind noise the road noise started to bother me next as it then became louder than the wind noise. Might be helpful to tackle both at the same time.
