Freedom panels coming loose

Ditch the freedom tops and get a sunrider for your hardtop! Best mod there is.

HAH! you want to talk about noise! I was in my friend's Jeep and asked how in the world he stands that thing because it's so loud.

well between all the usual road noise and my noisy mud tires, I really don't notice. I also can't make a phone call in the jeep because no one can hear me and I've busted the front dash speakers I just put in a year ago. So I'm not really worried about noise... just want that wind in my hair whenever possible.

Just sweaks going over bumps sometimes then i retighten handles but its brand new 2000 mi...happened maybe 3 to 4 times

My ‘23 has done this since day one. 17,000 miles later it’s the same. It hasn’t gotten better or worse. The noises go away for a week or two if I undo the latches (while parked of course lol), lift the panels up, plop em back down and lock them.

Can someone post photo of windshield bolts and location?

Just flip down the visor and look along the top. You will see recesses and the bolts are in there.

My new 24 sport s a few times front roof panels seemed loose, make noises i tightened all knobs, took to dealer he said nothing can be done i thought screws holding handles could be tiightened...who has this issue, any resolution? Is this a defect ?

If you can hear the freedom panels squeaking, you do not have your music turned up load enough...

Nothing a little red loctite can't solve.


PS. This is a half hearted joke

There’s a thread here somewhere (if I find it, I’ll come back and link it - right here) where some people have been able to adjust the panels somehow to get them to quiet down and lined up.

I need to do this myself as mine rattle around a fair bit.

I used this link...it helped fix my problem
