Hey all any recommendations on this? I have had an issue with my softop fluttering very bad at highway speeds. I keep being told by the dealership can't replicate it and I have taken video of it and given it to the dealer and was told today sorry the noise you hear is normal. As soon as I got on the highway leaving the dealer it was doing it as expected. The loaner they gave me was a wrangler and it was totally different than mine so I know the fluttering mine does is NOT normal. I have been working with Jeep wave and they keep giving me the run around I have asked to speak to a supervisor and the guy who contacted me acted like I was wasting his time and promised me a follow up call and I have never heard back from him. Any suggestions? Also @JeepCares are you seeing this?

What is the spec of your Jeep? JK/JL?

Hear what you are talking about in your video BUT can't see exactly where it is it terms of the softop...video is zoomed in too close to get a sense of where we are looking at with the softop in general.

Looks to me like one of the ST Supports may be either loose, broken or missing. Been through a car wash lately? They are notorious for being bad for Jeep Soft Tops.

2Dr/4Dr? That certainly seems a lot looser than my 2dr. As another poster said though, tough to tell in a close-up like that. May just be amplified by the close-up
