I have the same issue with the trektop I installed on my 2013. Thought the top was going to take off while going down the interstate.

Did you get it fixed, take it off or just leave windows in. I'm leaving windows in for now. I might call best top next week

Try unlatching the top and throwing it in sunrider mode. Not sure if you 4-door guys have the nylon straps that come down from the back but if you do, tighten them down real snug. Then close the sunrider top back up, which should feel a lot tighter. Hopefully that helps with the flapping.

I had the same issue on my 2-door. Sounded like a damn helicopter chasing me.

I had the same problem. I found a thread here with a recommended solution to replace the aluminium bar with something more rigid - I found a steel curtain rail just the right length which did the trick - no more flapping.

I can't say that mine flaps at all. Even in bikini mode at 70.
Now, the zippers on the back do bounce off of the rollbar.

Have you pinpointed what part flaps?

Like I said it the part over the rear seat arch. The bow. So I guess its the whole back section of bikini

Did you take the tape off the bow? Is the foam towards the top?
