This is gonna sounds crazy but....I actually think i hear the radio even when its turned off. Sounds like the radio is still on but very very suddle. My brain is either catagorizing wind noise as faint radio sounds or the damn radio is always on....cant put my finger on it.


Yeah yeah, it sounds like I've gone nuts, but someone on here has to have heard it too.

I have the Mygig setup in my JK too. I've heard the sound but it goes off after a minute or so, or when you open the door. I think it is because the radio still has power even when you turn the ignition off. Just my 2 cents anyway.

I have the same door noise. October 1 I took it in to the dealership and they tried many things to fix the sound. Finally they adjusted the striker inward appx 1/16" and the noise was corrected...

... The noise came back this week.

So they wouldn't order and install it "just for fun". They moved the latch inward a bit but this did not work at all.

The only way I found to get rid of the noise was to move the latch inward a "lot" but then the door is not inline with the body anymore...
Not cool.

I want the new latch!

YES !! and the 4589277AG !!!!!

I had to do some " convincing " but told him I would not be back for the noise EVER again IF he would " try " the revised latch ....


He went for it and it WORKED !!!!

I sprayed silicon spray in the latch area and the sound is gone.

OK Guys

Going over small bumps or just normal driving I hear as sqeaky noise coming from the seat belt adjustment area. Its right at my left ear. Mike
I had a similar problem. When I would go over larger bumps or rocks I would get an annoying squeak near my right ear. Left her home next time and the squeak was fixed.
