I noticed it on the wifes one day that I put the top back up when it was colder. It seemed louder. I took it down a put it back up in the heat of the day when the sun was out. It seems quieter now.

when putting it back up, do you attach the windshield part first or something else. Mine drives me crazy. it's really loud the faster i drive. Just trying to figure out if it's user error or a problem with the top.

If you latch the front first, you'll have a significantly smaller gap at the weatherstripping than if you do the back first. If it is too tight, leave it in the sun with the front latched for a while and then try the rear sail panels. My father had noise issues and was going back toi front. Kiddo straightened him out...

Make sure you start in the front and take a peek to see if the front of the soft top is really snug along the edge of the windshield frame, I have no problems with wind noise....o BTW next step that works for me is doing the corners in the back and then the sides, I'm not sure what the manual says but it's the way that works best for me....

Mine has gotten progressively louder as well... I've also noticed buffetting of the top with the front windows down, but I noticed it this morning with all of the windows up. It was really annoying.
