Soft top Jeep

the only fix short of installing a hard top is to take the soft top off:)

Welcome to soft-top Jeepdom. It is part of the experience, embrace it. Try getting caught out in a Florida afternoon thunderstorm without a top on at all (on the Jeep) when it was clear blue sky as you left the house. A little wind noise that day would have been a treat.

Seriously, if you figure out how to completely eliminate the wind noise and can market it, you will be very wealthy.

I own an 04 soft top X. The heater and AC work fine. I guess I don't have an air leak, even though I can't hear the radio at speed :B

It’s a Jeep. Air leaks are part of the experience.

Borrow a friends soft to CJ5 and go for a spin..

When you get back in your Jeep it will feel like sliding into a caddy.

I miss my old CJ.


Seriously, you may be able to minimize it but you will never eliminate them.

Thanks!

It a soft top wrangler! Your lucky your not complaint of a water leak. Jeeps are great vehicles, but complaining of an air leak would be the same as me complaint about gas mileage on my V-10! LOL

We have an 01 jeep Sport, soft top/plastic windows. Windows rattle while driving, not while parked. Just keep the heat turned up. (I've never tried to adjust them.)

We have an '08 Rubicon. It depends on where the leak is. The door "frames" that clamp onto the roll bar can be adjusted so that the doors seal better (assuming you have full doors rather than half-doors). All in all it seals up pretty well for a soft top. You just need to mess with it.

That being said, we have the hard top on 8-9 months out of the year so the soft top doesn't get a lot of use.

Where is it leaking?

Mine always leaked around the doors and there wasn't anything I found I could do to stop it. Sometimes bending / tweaking the door frames a little to put more pressure on where the leak was would help some.

My first one was a 1962 Jeep that I owned in about 1976 in Fairbanks. When winter came I mounted two more heaters in it, one on top of each rear fenderwell. It actually did rather well at -60F.
