  • If that styrofoam type squeak is driving you nuts, here’s a fix that has lasted me over 3,000 miles so far!
    You’ll need:
    - t40 tire bit
    - blue thread lock
    - a silicone or graphite (or both) lubricant like WD40 Waterproof Silicone
    - about 10 minutes

    I am a recent 2020 JLU Sky One touch owner with this exact "squeak" that was driving me crazy. I just completed this process today and took it for a spin.....verdict...100% GONE!! Thank you!!!

    Just wanted to say thank you so much, this worked for my squeak noise. I was ready to trade my jeep in, jeep service center was no help.

    This issue has been pissing me off for a while now. Thank you so much for sharing!

    Thanks so much for posting this! It truly worked and got rid of the squeaking noise I have put up with for 2 years!
    Well done 👏

    Strong work @thehobbyist! I went one step further with our Jeep JL squeak issue - I put a 3M Command Strip, adhesive on one side, but left backing on the other side (where the pin would meet the headliner) to take the pin-meeting-the-roof squeak point out of the equation. 1200 miles later, so far so good…

    I can attest to this working! I also have other squeaking/fiber glass cracking sounds coming from where the sky top meets the frame. I am still trying solutions to fix this but as far as stopping the squeaking from the rear windows THIS WORKS! Thanks for the help!!

    I was wondering if that was the culprit but didn’t think I’d have to go to this extent. Thanks for the info and video!

    Thanks for this. Tried everything and on mine it seems that that the retractable pin on the latches themselves have an obnoxious squeak when pushing them up and down. Tried grease and wd40. Any thoughts to fix other then trying to buy replacement latches? Thank you

    What graphite grease did you use? I have the same issue!

    Man that is great to know. 600 miles on ours and I’ve pulled over a few times looking for what is making this sound. I know I know it’s a Jeep but no need for unnecessary noises esp on the road.
    So what’s the plastic and subwoofer noise that you speak of??

    • @thehobbyistoriginal
      @thehobbyistoriginal  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Some people found their plastic wasn’t cut right around their subwoofer. I never had that issue.

    Would you purchase that top again?

      Not me. Too noisy...

    • @thehobbyistoriginal
      @thehobbyistoriginal  3 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      I would. I like the convenience of it. I’ve had all styles of keep tops snd the ability to open it for a few minutes while driving is great.

    Nice video and good work. Why you did not take the car to the dealership since it is still under warranty?

    • @thehobbyistoriginal
      @thehobbyistoriginal  3 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      I spoke to them and their solution was to replace the removable windows. They said the noise would then just come back. I sent them this video. ;)

    Did your solution work well after driving the jeep for a while?

    I took my 2021 rubicon to the dealer . It was sounding like a telegram coming in over my right front window. Constant tap tap tap omg !! Only had it a few months . They had to keep it 2 days fixed it with some kind of quiet tape but it came right back a wk later ! I’m going to take it back again who can I send this video to at the dealership ?

    • @thehobbyistoriginal
      @thehobbyistoriginal  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I sent it to some dealerships and they didn’t seem too interested. Apparently they’d rather keep billing Jeep for new window panels. ;)
