Replying to: a35242 (Feb 12, 2009 5:56 am) I took the information gathered from here and the ordered the part. It was called a header kit. I am hoping this will work and will keep you posted Replies to this message: jimgreiner (Feb 13, 2009 6:43 am) a35242 (Feb 27, 2009 6:39 am)

Replying to: a35242 (Feb 13, 2009 5:32 am) Hate to disappoint all of you following this thread, but I had this latest fix (replacing header) done around 3000 miles ago... at the time it was done the wind noise was greatly reduced, with only a little noise coming from the passenger side of the skyslider... over the past 3000 miles however, the noise has gradually increased to the point it's as noisy as it was before the repair... Again, another CHEEP (CHryslerjEEP) repair... time to get the lemon law lawyers involved Replies to this message: a35242 (Feb 27, 2009 6:39 am)

Replying to: lasersam (Jan 27, 2009 5:23 pm) I also purchased an "09" Liberty with a "skyslider" roof. Noise is not the right word for it. I'm assuming that Chrysler/Jeep didn't learn nor try to fix the problem for the 2009 model year. Noted to my dealer that there is a Blt. from Chrysler Jeep concerning this problem but his response was "it was or the 2008 model therefor not applicable to the 2009 model". DUH. I guess I too need to contact whomever about the "Lemon Law". Dealer Service Rep did say he had the same problem but to date has not found a solution for it other than a fixed air dam in front of the opening (none sold by JEEP fit this situation) nor offered on the open market. And you wonder why the BIG THREE are having a hard time selling their products...

Replying to: jimgreiner (Feb 13, 2009 6:43 am) So, are you able to go back and get the header kit replaced again? There does not seem to be any other solutions out there that I have heard of. Let me know if you find anything out about the Lemon Law with this situation because it is definately frustrating for sure.
#46 of 59 what gets fixed? by lasersam Feb 28, 2009 (5:57 pm)
No trouble on my 09 Liberty yet but this thread is very troubling. I worry every time I open the roof at 60 MPH. OK- I won't do that. What else might contribute to the seal failure? Is there a preventive maintenance procedure that would help avoid the problem (like getting the seal surfaces periodically greased)? Has anyone seen a physical part that gets replaced when a leaky roof is "fixed"? What is it and where does it go? Get a picture of it and post it here if you can. Can someone get their service manager to describe the procedure that is used to fix the roof and share it here? Replies to this message: a35242 (Mar 03, 2009 1:28 pm)

Replying to: lasersam (Feb 28, 2009 5:57 pm) I just got my Jeep Liberty back after they installed the header kit and it is 100% better than before. I can go 70 Miles per hour + with no wind noise at all. Like a new car. I will scan and attach the service order later but it is called a header kit.
#48 of 59 Initiated Lemon Law on my 08 Liberty in Florida by magnetguy Apr 29, 2009 (10:54 am)
I have been dealing with the noise issue for the past few months, had the car at the dealer 4 times with no success and was told on my last visit that they could not replicate the issue. I believe the tech must have driven around the parking lot and decided he did not hear anything, which at that speed he would not have. I sent my Motor Vehicle Defect Notification to Chrysler and they directed me to bring the car back to the dealer and they will attempt to fix it AGAIN. The car is in the shop as we speak, and according to the Florida Lemon Law, if they don't get it right they are required to give me a replacement vehicle or refund my money, my choice. I will keep this forum posted. Replies to this message: a35242 (May 04, 2009 6:42 am) magnetguy (May 04, 2009 6:57 am) a35242 (May 15, 2009 10:50 am) and 5 more...
