I got a set of Mastercraft grab handles for Christmas and I installed them and the next time I went driving there was a lot of wind noise coming from the corner of the hard top. I took a look at the hard top and the freedom panels don't seem to be sitting flush with the front windshield. I put the grab handles my Jeep came with and every thing is fine again. I don't know if I am doing something wrong or if its normal.

 

The only thing I can think of is if something was bunching up the pad that wraps around the roll bar and pushing up on the freedom panel? Other than that I would guess its just a fluke. I would say put them back, remove the panels and see if they are interfering in any way. If not, than put the panel back on, could just be slightly off. But other than pushing up on the panel (possibly) I don't see any possible way for a wrap around the rollbar handle could affect the top.

 

Thanks for the input. I will try moving stuff around.

 

Just send them to me, and you wont have anymore issues

No idea why you would have the noise...my top drivers side has some but I have yet to determine if it is actually the top or the windshield which a previous owner swapped out. I think it is the later as the sealant they used is...well...let's just say a blind, one armed goat could do better. *shrug*
