Here is the link for the recall:

Keep us posted please... I'll be heading out for moose hunting and I dread that it will be a looooooong ride like last year, 10+ hours with that noise !!!

Must find a solution... today I tried to order these from my local performance shop, but they are backorder until further notice... will probably need to import from the US:

(saw it at around 150$ somewhere, maybe Quadatec.com)

I just don't understand why they didn't use a 3rd latch on the center loop (the one you attach soft top to). Going 120kph I get much louder noise if I push on there, and I get much less sound if I grab both panels with my right hand and pull them in. Unfortunately it's not very viable to drive my manual with my hand holding the top

Look at this !!

Freedom top panels design was changed in the 09+!

I will look into getting an extra latch / relocating mine! Exactly what we need to stop that noise

I get a little wind noise on mine (09 with an 11 hard top on it) Had the same issue with the 09 hard top. Figured it was normal
