My son's '97 tj just started having a lot of wind noise on the passenger's side. It sounds like its coming somewhere from where the top (steelhorse, which is probably the problem...) seals against the windshield frame. I can't find anywhere at all that there doesn't seem to be a tight fit....no water leaks either when it rains, just wind noise starting around 40 mph and above. Has anyone had something like this before? Very minor issue I know, just aggravating that I can't find it.



thanks, cal

Start taping the area with duct tape a little at a time and then go for a drive. When the noise goes away you have pinpointed the spot.

You can then either leave the tape on ;) or remove the top and try to correct the leak..

Does he have full hard doors? I use to have to roll down my windows of my full steel doors and sorta bend the top part of the door back a bit to make it form a tight seal. The guy I bought that YJ from told me that was something that he always did - I don't know how common it is to need to do that on TJ's though. I don't know if I had to do that because that's what the previous owner(s) did... but it's something to consider.
