Check the gap on the back side of the A-pillars (see pic below). I had to fill this gap with automotive foam tape to fix my wind noise. Before filling the gap, it sounded like I had a window just barely cracked open.

To see if this is your problem, simply cover this area with blue painter's tape and see if the noise goes away.

There is definitely a difference in the gap size between the right and left side. I'm going to have to schedule an appointment at the dealership next time I'm in Vegas (4 hrs to the south).

Thanks, by chance do you have a link from Amazon as to what to order?
Those might be noisy because the door seal has changed. Mopar sells a nice set that doesn't effect the door seal.

No no, what they're saying is that these could add wind noise, not that they'll reduce it. That's why they're asking if you have them.
Thanks, thought it was weird him asking but never know.

Just put some painter's tape over it. If the noise goes away, then you know what it is, and you can fix it without all the dealer hassle.

Depending - IF it's a hard top some have found reseating the freedom panels helps, others have found some adjustment somewhere to make them fit better.
Door seals are another

Hello everyone. I would suggest headliner . It helps a lot with the wind noise. I initially installed sound dampening kit on the floor and doors. It helps but not that much as I would expect, but it improved noise when I am talking on my phone and sound of music. In my opinion headliners are the best solution for wind noise and temperature control.
