Don't get me wrong, I LOVE my gobi rack and it is the best thing I've added to the jeep for me. I completely understand other's not liking one, but I need one for kayaks, surf rods, strollers, luggage, possibly a tent, etc. The other day I strapped a bunch of wood on it that I bought from home depot. You get the idea.
I will take some pictures of the foam stuff I did for the sound and post up the pictures.

The front is attached to the A pillars via flat pillar brackets.

The Rear is a passthrough design that allows for the rack to be mounted to the rollbars.

I havent tried it yet but the rack can be removed and installed on the jeep while topless and the freedom panels can come out easily with the rack installed.
It's incredibly strong.
http://youtu.be/Tz-Zw5cyBEo As far as soft tops, I don't think that there is a solution yet. I immagine you could mount it to the rollbars when topless and possibly attach it if the back side windows were removed/unzipped. I don't have one so I can't verify.

Separate topic - I did move my lights back to my rack yesterday. I had removed two and placed two on the bumper but they just did not cut it on the trails at night.

I'd like to see the pics of your "foam" solution. I did something similar but they wont stay in place/they move back and therefore the tension against the top is lost (used pool noodles I painted black).

It's a Malone kayak pad.
I also used skid row off roads' "top prop." Google it, between the two, no more flapping.
For the wind noise generated from the roof rack,, this $12 full sized mattress pad from Walmart made a huge difference:
