I just picked mine up (4 door Rubicon with hardtop) and it has a whistling sound that appears to be coming around the driver side door right at the corner just below the windshield at speeds above 45 or so. Passenger side has no such issue. I just got it so I haven't done any more investigating then that.

Same here if there's a strong crosswind.

Done. No objectionable wind noise on my JLUR hardtop. I wonder if anybody has dropped the windshield to see what that gasket looks like.

Did the survey. No excessive wind noise for me, either. Good luck to those that have it, though. I still think everyone with it needs to take windshield, top, and panels off and check the gasket very closely. It's easy for that to get pinched or lie in the wrong way.

Just did it, I would not consider it excessive noise but louder than I’m used to and comes mainly from the passenger side

Done it, no excessive wind noise even with just front two panels off. Can hold a conversation on highway without yelling as well.

Done. I’ve had convertibles in the past and I do feel the noise is higher than it should. I actually don’t mind the noise with windows down and feel that it’s louder with everything closed.

I just noticed when I put my hand on the speaker (driver side for me) and I feel wind coming inside.... I’m going to try lowering the windshield to inspect the gaskets, etc.
