Re: WIND NOISE 94 WRANGLER
The lip of the hard top where it comes over the windshield does cause a
lot of turbulence, and if the seal has shrunk due to age it's like
being in a wind tunnel.
*Much* louder than a soft top or no top at all (believe it or not!)

Re: WIND NOISE 94 WRANGLER
I will second that!
I 'only' like the hard top for heat and to carry camping stuff, it is a
'lot' noisier than my original 86's soft top, a 'lot' noisier!

Well, for one, lose the top--no realy--please stop laughing. Noise goes

Re: WIND NOISE 94 WRANGLER
That is interesting because on my '05 the soft top (factory) is louder
than the hard top (also factory). Of course coming from the factory
and not having aged, the hard top fits perfectly and all the seals are
good. The soft top is louder mainly because wind and air flow will
cause it to vibrate and/or snap. I think the rigidity of the hard top
also dampens sound waves, just like a wall in a house. I like the
hard top for 1) scraping ice off and 2) easier to open access to the
trunk and back seat. But a Jeep with no soft top at all just lacking
something :-).
