    ITS FUNNY I’VE TAKEN MY WRANGLER IN 3 TIMES AND THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT AT COURTSEY JEEP SAID NOTHING FOUND EVERYTIME. I TOOK IT BACK WITH TWO ATTEMPTS TO FIX THE WHISTLING SOUND BY REPLACING THE HEADER SEAL. STILL NOT WORKING.

    I just had this done a few days ago. Worked a bit so I guess Im happier. Replaced the seal and said it was flat down.

    Installed wheel well moulding along top edge of windshield frame to redirect air flow from top of roof. So far it seems to have worked to rid us of the air flow noise. Try it. You have nothing to lose.
