A before and after sound test would have been nice.
I’ve got a video of us driving to Florida at 70mph. Check out the rest of my channel! 😊 sorry but I don’t have a before because I had not planned on making a video until the last minute of the mod. th-cam.com/video/XPEXYAkWorg/w-d-xo.htmlsi=ZHlX9n4mDXwWEjxy
We used 1" d shape from amazon around the window as described in the video. On the bottom of the window, we used 3/8" weather stripping. Cut the wind noise down significantly.
Awesome! We drove our Jeep from NC to FL not long after I made this modification. I couldn’t imagine driving it without these mods. Can’t believe Jeep didn’t do this from the factory.
Love the video and delivery. Very concise. Wind noise was never really an issue for me thanks to the cold air intake, aftermarket exhaust, and MT tires.
Found out that lesson with the MT on my new JLU Willys. Damn those things made so much more road noise than the AT I had on my Gladiator...
Or you can do what I do. Turn the radio up lol
I do same 🤣
😂😂😂😂
Getting ready to buy a new gladiator. Great video thanks
@@railroad13 love ours! Watch my latest video about what I just did to ours!
Getting ready to buy a new gladiator great video thank you!
Thanks for the video and product links. Where did you use 5/16 vs 7/16?
Have u tried the car afterwards? What's the feedback?
Thanks for the video! I did everything you did but that passenger side wind noise is still there with a soft top. I’m sure this helps overall though.
Manufacturer wanted to share their job with the consumers
Can you share a link of the exact materials used please? I know you said weather strip and something else..I’m sure the weather strips come in all different sizes..
Also what’s your recommendation for hands free when talking via Bluetooth..where is the microphone located. When I have phone calls with people they say all they hear is wind noise. I’m wondering if I do this will it eliminate 80 percent of the wind noise? I upstaged my speakers I can hear them just find it’s the people on the other end that can’t hear me well.
@@diy-mitch-vlogs What thickness do you recommend?
Great idea brother thanks for sharing
Has anyone tried this? I might want to get this done when I get the chance.
When I'm driving 60+ it sounds like I'm sky diving and talking on bluetooth is impossible with my 21 gladiator. Love the truck but zero quality of build
Honestly, the only reason I have a Jeep is to tow it behind the motorhome. It's easier to flat tow than just about any other vehicle.
I love this video. We put in a headliner, which helped with some of the road noise, but the wind noise is so loud. How has it worked out for you? Can you list the size of rubber weather strip you used? What a great idea!
Thanks for watching! I put links in the description of the different weather strips I used from Home Depot.
Eliminate wind noise on a brick........got it. I think you have bad seals or a jeep built on a friday. My wife's jlu and my jt and our old jku never hade noise. Hell my 97 tj is still quiet. We live in IL where salt is prevalent
Yessir factory missed sealant in that small gap on the passenger side of the windshield.
Great video, thanks!
Would be worried that sealing this will seal in water and rot from the inside out.. gotta be a reason this isn't sealed up from the factory.
@@rustbeltrobclassic2512 where I added weatherstrip is inside the existing weatherstrip. The a-pillar was the worst. Jeep completely left out sealant on the passenger side.
@@diy-mitch-vlogs I had a similar issue on a 23 F150 where they didnt put insulation in the drivers door, but did on all the other ones, was something i discovered when i upgraded the factory speakers.
I bet this works great with the top and doors off😂
Quiet when I want it to be and not when in convertible mode!
It is quiet 100% or just better than factory?
I just hear the wind noise by the passenger side, weird
Trade for Mercedes. No noise from factory
Same here. Its the gaps in windshield welds. This was good video Ill be doing mine in a week.
Wow..nice tip…
How’s it working out now?
Loving the Gladiator. We just have the typical road noise because there is not much to the top. Which is to be expected out of a Jeep.
@@diy-mitch-vlogsI legit just did this and about to go out for the evening. My last wrangler was a 95 soft top but this 2020 JL is a Cadillac in comparison.
I’ve got really bad tinnitus from being enlisted so the small whistle noises really bug me in the hard top. We’re gonna find out if it works lol
Its a Jeep there is gonna be wind noise.
Calk your window permitantly shut?! No way.
Sorry, read this on mobile. No, I'm not caulking it shut. There is a small gap between the outer skin and the A-pillar. The entire part that folds down. Jeep inserted sealant on the driver's side. However, there was none on the passenger side. Sorry for the confusion.
This really doesn't make any sense. Unless you seal up the entire jeep you will get wind noise from everywhere, this mod won't "100%" remove wind noise. If wind really is coming in from the window like you say, there would a bigger concern of windows popping off at high speeds, or water leaks around the window.
I have the Besttop sunrider and most of my noise comes from wind passing over that. When I had a softtop, the wind. noise came from passing over the thing fabric. If there is windshield noise; it is cancelled out by this. When I have the panels on (rarely) it is MUCH quieter, but not gone because there isn't insulation inside the panels to quiet the wind vibrations.
If you look around your door seams (from inside) in a nice bright day, you will see gaps in the door,, also comes in through this.
This seal that you are creating is also a water channel; another thing to think about.
Much of the quiet ride you get from other SUV types, is because there insulation in the frame. Jeeps don't have much insulation at all; so wind noise comes from everywhere
A jeep is less aerodynamic than an elephant, not much you can do about it.
Even though I took the more extreme approach. The majority of my wind noise problems came from the fact that Jeep did not seal up the windshield A pillar on the passenger side. I mentioned this in my video. So, I sealed that area and it solved my issue. We took a trip from NC to FL and I was extremely pleased with the mods I made. The only thing we heard was the obvious road noise and other vehicle’s because it’s a Jeep. However. There was no wind noise entering through the gaps left by Jeep. Please like and subscribe! Thanks!
Give me a break please... i have been driving a Jeep since the CJ's there is no wind noise in those Jeep's now days. I am keeping my JK Rubicon until there nothing left but rust. I am aware you spent well over 50 thousand dollars on your Jeep but is a Jeep after all. If they were under 50 thousand dollars they would be flying off the dealer lots...
Thanks for the reply. If you watched my video all the way through, you will see where I showed and explained what Stelantis Jeep failed to do in the manufacture. They missed sealant in the passenger side A-pillar. Piss poor quality if you ask me. What I did was overkill, but it did most certainly help. This is our 3rd Jeep and still love them, despite quality issues. I was not about to take it back to the dealer to address this. About the only way it would have to go back to the dealer for warranty is if it had to be towed back. Dealers are the worst.
I just drive my 2023 gladiator on the chicago skyway today at 70 mph and I could barely hear my mother speaking to me. Absolutely terrible. I’ll have to do what he is demonstrating to my windshield for surr
@@herbanplayground1267 keep us updated how it improves your noise!
hard to hear over all of the gun shots.....@@herbanplayground1267
Wrong ! I just bought a 2024 wrangler sahara in August. Lots of wind noise . Going to do this asap

Awe come on, that’s a little harsh. 😊
