Question: Gap in between roof and windshield on jeep wrangler normal?

(Posted by: t-pain on 2010-02-28 13:09:17)

There is a gap in between the roof and windshield on my Jeep Wrangler, that is the roof is not securely fastened (I'm missing some screws), I was wondering even if it was securely fastened would the wind that creates a terribly loud noise once i reach around 45 mph still continue, that is is it normal because I don't remember always having this nuisance. Also, would replacing it with a properly fastened frame less soft top alleviate this problem? I ask this question because I keep hearing that jeeps are loud on highways but I think what they mean is something different than what I'm experiencing.

If you have a gap there you are probably missing the rubber header strip that should be there, or have an incorrect one fitted.

The windshield is urethaned to the car. Missing some bolts on the windshield will not create wind noise. Jeep's are just really loud.
