Jeep Soft Top Flapping With Light Bar Fixed!!!!
OK guys after installing the 50 inch light bar with the poison spyder brackets i also experienced my soft top flapping extremely bad. Tried the whole running the fan wide open idea and it work to a point. So i had to come up with something different. Ok from what i found out was the light bar was to close to the windshield and it was causing alot of turbulence through the gap. Solution to this was a bracket I drawn up and had cut out to move the light bar forward about 2 inches. This complete fixed the problem! No more soft top flapping and no more having to run the fan wide open! So if anybody is interested in having the bracket drawing sent to them just let me know! Below are some pics!

Fixed the flapping on mine!
I installed a 50" LED across the top of my windshield using the aluminum Poison Spyder brackets. I finally got rid of the whistle...but the soft top now rumbles/rattles from all the wind coming up the windshield and under the 50". I can barely hold a conversation on the highway. Anyone experiencing this same issue?

I have zero whistle but I did have the top flap. What I found works perfect is to crack the front windows ever so slightly. Doesn't take much at all. Eliminates almost all the flap.
