After adding my 50" Rigid Industries SR light my soft top flaps really bad. Wondering if this product will help me.

Anxious to read some customer reviews on this. As someone logs 30-40 highway miles a day a quieter cabin would be a welcome addition. Will the adhesive withstand a car wash sprayer?

Pretty cool. It reminds me of one of those bug deflectors for the hood. Personally, I wouldn't like the way that looks on my jeep. It might be better to offer them in factory paint colors if possible?

Here are some pics of my light bar and the gap. The light bar really screws up the air flow and causes extremely bad flapping. Remove the light bar and flapping goes away. I like my light bar so I won't be taking it back off

Ordered one last night. I think it shipped 5 minutes after pushing the "pay" button.

Can't wait to try it out.

Thanks!

Got mine today and tried it out. . . .sounds like I'm in a jet engine. I did get some flapping in the rear section and did the blower trick, seemed to fix that, but starting at about 40 mph it started to sound like one of those bullet LP heaters. It just got louder and louder and louder as I got to 70. I'm really disappointed since It really looked nice on the jeep. To be fair, I don't have a stock soft top, I have an ORH top so maybe that has something to do with it. I had 3/4 of an inch of the window trim showing.

Wonder if it will work with a hard top? Maybe it it quiet the poor fit of the top at the front edge...
