Default Rubicon Soft Top Wind Flapping

Hello, I'm new to the forum.

My father passed a couple of years back, and well, Pops had a lot of toys. One of which is a 2003 Rubicon that has been warehoused, and has only about 5k miles on it.

It has a soft top that is noisy as hell on the highway. If I put say a Gobi roof rack on top, with a wind guard, do you think that would alleviate the wind flap problem? I'm not sure I want to invest in a hardtop yet.

Thank you.

Well it's a Jeep so you can't ask for to much. But double check and make sure it is completely sealed cause it shouldn't be painfully loud at all with a TJ unless it's not sealed then it'll just be terrible to drive. Maybe buy a new top from Bestop and save a little money instead of a hardtop. Also if it is completely sealed try blasting the air it might inflate the top and make it quieter. Good luck man!

Oh and as for the flapping it's normal. Either try to inflate it with the air system or look at a bestop since they've fixed it.
