Tighten seal.What exactly is the benefit of making that adjustment? Tighter seal? Forward movement? Something else?

Did you only adjust passenger side or both to get balance in tension?@alltimesaresoon
Passenger side is the side that I see the most noise on.... at speeds above say 65 mph.
IF you talk to Bestop, they tell you there is room for a tad of adjustment on the JL itself to help quell noise.. There is, I did the best adjustment possible but still passenger side noisy. Been dealing with it for a few thousand miles.... I take it as a trade off so to speak for having the SR that I truly enjoy..
I actually worked on the clamp downs again today.... I am trying something different to tighten things up there... Will report back in a day or so if it works to decrease noise. I'm somewhat hopeful.
By the way, IF you lower the Jl's sunvisor, you will see two Torx head bolt heads covered with a circular patch of Velcro. Remove the Velcro and save as it is reusable. Now, loosen the two torx bolts, push the bracket they secure fully forward and then re-tighten the Torx bolts and stick the Velcro circles back on. That is the adjustment Best Top says to do.

This makes me think maybe the pass side problem has to do with the door seal and not the SR seal....@alltimesaresoon
Did both sides... over a month ago and it did nada.
Yesterday, I actually adjusted the mechanism on the SR itself and that did nothing.
I have officially given up on it. Reality is, I had some noise on the passenger side even with the Freedom Panels.
