I know the reviews suck. This is more of a proof of concept.

Have you tried adjusting the rear windows at different amount of open. I have had luck in the past by doing thatThis weekend was the first one with the Freedom Panels off all weekend for me. Above 40 mph, the inside of my Gladiator was like a wind tunnel, bad enough so anything on the seats front and back without any heft to it was picked up and wanted to fly out the top or the side window when it was open. Was never that bad on my 4 door Wrangler sport.
Anyone know if they sell a wind deflector that can go on the roof right in front of the opening, or like you put on the front hood?
I agree in that he was just ASKING, not complaining. I have 3 current Jeeps and owned 5, but my Gladiator with light bar is pretty darn loud. Came to this thread for suggestions to minimize wind noise on freeway.Not sure what post you read, guy is just asking a question (I don't see any "why did I" comment).
I don't ride with just my Freedom Panels off mostly because it's noisier (to me at least ) than having the entire top/door off. Opening the rear slider does help, but I prefer going completely topless.
To answer the OP, they DO make them for JK's, but haven't seen them for the JL/JT. Not sure if you could make it work. Just search Wrangler Top Deflector.
Sunrider is perfect for this. I flip mine closed for long interstate stretches, then back open at 20mph still on the exit ramp.I have to agree. Having the freedom panels off is actually beginning to annoy me unless I don't plan on going over 25mph.
Came here to say just that. Open the back window whenever the freedom panels are off. Turbulence gone.For those of us with the Freedom Panels, I have found that opening the rear window (the slider) helps reduce interior turbulence. I have the SunRider top on mine and just opening that slider made a big difference. Even with all the windows down, I was pleasantly surprised how much a difference having the slider open too.
