[QUOTE="Dirty Dog, post: 453165, member: 24042"] That's actually very fixable. I did some research, and it seems the problem is that because the bars are generally right at the top of the windscreen, air squeezes between the two and causes the fins to vibrate. There are some fairly pricey solutions available for this. I got some of the [URL='https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07MCZ4PXS/?tag=jkforum-20']THIS[/URL]. For less than $20, I did the windscreen light bars on both Wranglers. Just press that onto the cooling fins. The other issue is aim. Adjust the aimpoint of the light bar. When first installed, going through the Cyclone wash tilted mine up a bit, and the noise increased exponentially. Turned down so it pointed straight, it decreased. But I don't need the light to shine 4 miles down the road. Aimed down a bit more, so it lights up roughly the same area as the high beams (but much more brightly, obviously) and in conjunction with the door trim, the wind noise is virtually eliminated.
