Replying to: jeepboy08 (Jul 25, 2008 7:14 pm) Thank you for your solution advice ... but Iam not sure I understand what you are trying to explain... I would really appreciate if you can explain it better to me to see if I can go to the dealer and ask them if they can check better my SkySlider having the backup of your advice.   Thank you!!!   ~Claudette Replies to this message: jeepboy08 (Jul 26, 2008 6:27 am) basler (Sep 10, 2008 6:44 pm)

Replying to: cmoa84 (Jul 25, 2008 10:15 pm) Okay! When you are riding on the highway, and your SkySlider makes large amounts of noise, it is because the fabric is loose. Very loose. To solve this problem (maybe), you can roll up all the windows and turn the air on full blast, or the heat. Whichever you prefer. In doing this, it essentially inflates the car like a balloon, making the SkySlider fabric very tight. When the fabric is tight, it will not make noise, or at least not as much noise.   Do you see what I am saying? Replies to this message: basler (Sep 10, 2008 6:44 pm)

I have been discussing this issue with Jeep. They told me to get another opinion on the wind noise. I discussed the issue with another service manager who stated that he had a convertible LeBarron with a convertible roof top that was noisey. He said he installed an air deflector on the roof which eliminated the problem. I thought of the same solution however, Mopar only has air deflectors for sun roofs. If Jeep engineers an air defector that should resolve the problem.

Replying to: jeepboy08 (Jul 26, 2008 6:27 am) I tried that with limited success. I do not believe the issue is with the frabic. I think it the issue is aerodynamics complicated with faulty weather seals and flaw of wind deflection. Roof is too flat.

Replying to: basler (Sep 10, 2008 6:40 pm) We have been working very closely with our Jeep dealership on this matter and I can attest to the fact, having seen evidence with my own eyes, that there is an official technical service bulletin on this matter.   Jeep has created a solution to the issue that involves a new part and a complete re-install of the slider roof. Currently, the part is on backorder and we are on the waiting list.   As soon as we have it installed, I will update this message board.   That said, if ANY Jeep dealer tries to tell you there isn't any data on this, know that they are either lying or misinformed, as there is supporting documentation available.   I will scan and post the TSB, a copy of which I have retained, soon.

Replying to: gtangjr (Sep 11, 2008 11:27 am) Thank you so much for your reply message. I really appreciate it because right now I was like with crossed hands because people in the dealership were treating me like if I was crazy, so I decided to leave the Sky Slider like that, even though it was driving me crazy. They were telling me that it was normal, even though when I bought it, I didn't have that problem.   Now I can call the dealer and tell them that I was right!!!! THANKS TO YOU!!!

Replying to: gtangjr (Sep 11, 2008 11:27 am) Thanks for the info... after 2 body computer re-programs and a number of adjustments by my dealer on my '08 Liberty I'm happy to hear they've finally got a fix that may work... I would also appreciate a copy of the TSB so my dealer can get the parts on order.... Thanks - Jim Replies to this message: gtangjr (Oct 13, 2008 9:47 am)

Replying to: gtangjr (Sep 11, 2008 11:27 am) Thanks for your information. I have recently purchased a Liberty and am having the same problem with wind noise. You don't have to scan and Post the whole TSB. If you could post the number and the date on the TSB we can all go ahead and investigate with the Dealer?
