Windshield frame to soft top noise help needed

[Compton]

Hey everyone just got a used gladiator and swapped the hard for the soft top. Its a premium top but i just did a short drive and its whistling, shooshing air at the top of the windshield. Definitely not sealing properly any ideas? I have had jeeps in the past, this makes me think i am going to get wet when it rains.

Could you post a video or audio file?

The hardtop makes a dent on the weatherstripping close to the center. Give it a couple of days to expand and see if the noise is still present.

Maybe - i am fiddling around with it but going back out later and will try and get some video. ITs leaking air like its not sitting on its seal properly

I was just fiddling with it and wondering if the hardtop had crushed it. This makes a lot of sense. Thanks very much i am going to give it a couple days like you say.

I had this same issue when I put my Sunrider on. It cleared up after a couple of days. Good luck!

Put a hair dryer to the seal to warm it up. The original shape should come back again.
