Trektop NX Wind Noise Fix?
Does anyone have a fix for excess wind noise from the header on the Trektop NX? It sounds like a Jet Stream is coming from the header around the drivers side latch. It looks like it's flush with a seal, It does not leak from the passenger side, and it only occurs at speeds above 50mph. The top does not leak water, and has no area I can feel the air coming from.
I tried putting a piece of weather stripping on the hard plastic in the area the noise sounds like it's coming from. Didn't work. Moved it to the fabric ledge of the header toward the windshield. Didn't work either.
I took the JK on a 4 hour trip this weekend each way, and it is bugging me to death. I know it's going to be loud, but this is in excess. I simply can not stand it on the 9 hour trip each way to the beach in two weeks? I need to get it fixed ASAP. Whose got pictures of a good fix?

I had a noise like that couldn't figure where it was at then one day I put my hand up above the header and top I got quiter
Look farther into it found a tiny hole right on the edge of the header , it was so small I didn't think it was it , put a drop of crazy glue on it and never heard it again and that was a year ago

It's shocking to me too. I threw a piece of duct tape on there for the time being, and will do the crazy glue fix in the AM. I would have never paid any mind to the little snag unless someone mentioned it.
