Default 2 dr roof rack system

What is the best roof rack system for a 2dr soft top? Im looking for minimal wind noise and to maintain the functionality of my top.

I have several freinds who would recommend gobi it is however slightly annoying takeing the top off but is doable by your self. I think youll be hard pressed to find a rack that makes it easy to take the soft top down/off. Also take a look ar garvin industries they make some good racks as well.

Ive been looking into both of them, any input on the wind noise?

Here is a link to a YouTube review I put up regarding the Garvin roof rack. I go through how to operate it and even talk a little bit about noise. Check it out

As far as noise goes with the soft top adding the wind deflector certainly made it livable. I talk about it more in the vid.

Let me know if you have any questions.

Tagging along on this thread because I'm looking into the same thing right now. I don't want to do any drilling so the Garvin Adventure Rack seems perfect, except that the rack basket is smaller than the Expedition Rack's.... bummer.
