"I'm trying to collect some data on the wind noise many of us are experiencing."

Less than 500 miles and haven't been over 60mph or so. Wind noise is about what I expected with the 4dr hardtop & headliner.
However, the rain I drove through was surprisingly loud. PS Windshield caught a rock at 110 miles and needs replacing. Dang

I'm trying to collect some data on the wind noise many of us are experiencing.

PLEASE fill out the VERY short survey located here: https://goo.gl/forms/NMQlmtEIve70CDeL2

Please fill this out even if you don't have excessive wind noise!

Hopefully we can start spotting some trends to help us troubleshoot.
What is your survey showing you so far ?

Sorry it's taken me so long to provide an update - work has been crazy lately.

So far, 213 people have responded.

- 202 (94.8%) have a JLU
- 188 (88.3%) have a hard top
- 106 (49.8%) say they have excessive noise
- Of that, 75 (70.8%) have "Rushing Air" sound
- 18 (17%) have a whistle
- 26 (24.5%) have a sound similar to driving with one window open (%s do not add to 100 due to a number of "other" answers)

I haven't had a chance to do any further analysis, but I've attached the .csv file in case anyone wants to look for themselves! (NOTE - the forums don't allow me to upload a .csv, so I had to upload it as a .zip file).

Most of my noise seems to come from mirror area, can't really blame it on the sunrider top.

Responded for both our JLUR & JL Sport S, each with hardtop. Lots quicker than my last IQ test.

Just completed...mine seems a tad louder since installing my SR top but not a lot more and it seems to come from the passenger side.
