The Jeep isn't as good of a convertible car as I hoped

I was being a smartass because you were comparing the American resale value of an Italian(foreign) made super car to an American Made Chrysler Jeep Wrangler

It's not a covertable.... "It's a Jeep thing" .... maybe you wouldn't understand?

Do the "windjammer" products reduce this?

If I wanted something to take the top down and be able to hold a conversation at 40mph I would have bought a mustang. Just my .02

As has already been said - you should get a mesh top. Dirty Dog and Spidershade (I have spider) both make mesh tops that can fit underneath the soft or hard top and block most of the wind and noise, some of the light, but little of the experience.

Comparing a doors off Wrangler to an obviously doors on small convertible is not at all fair. Totally different situations, WAAY more open space in the doors off Wrangler.

But beating it into the ground - you either love or hate a Wrangler. If you don't love yours, the best option is to just get out of it. I don't think people "grow into" Wranglers. If you don't love it day one, it is just going to be a pain in your rear end as long as you drive it.

Rugged ridge has one. It's very very pricey. I know many people think it's for "lazy" people, but if the price was right- i wouldn't care if anyone thought I was lazy. I am- lol.
