I don't have a real problem with the hard top or the Safari top I'm running, but with my height and the tops off, this looks like it will be a nice thing to help kick the wind up and over my forehead.

I've had good luck buying things there, and even selling a few. Never had to return anything, and the sellers have all cooperated. Just stay away from listings that say "selling for a friend", limited knowledge of what they are selling, or people that don't answer questions.

Mine being mounted on a 2 door I dont get the flapping but took the sound of wind thru a straw effect away from the header. If there was a way to tighten the clamps on the header that would help also.

I got one overnighted to me from Quadratec before I took a road trip to Ocala, Fl a month ago.
I got it because the bug shield I added made my top flap in the rear section a bit and I figured this wind deflector would push the air over my top.
Wrong.
I put it on the morning I left... it made my top flap violently right above the driver and passenger seat. I had to crack a window to get it to stop... just cracked.. not to far down and not to far up.
I have since removed it and going to try and mount it a bit higher to see if it helps but for now.. don't add this to an Unlimited if you are running a bug deflector.
Oh, and the 3m tape holds it incredibly well... I could barely get the damn thing off!

Well, I could definitely use any help I can get in the noise department.... my hearing is total crap. The radio is fine, if I blast it, but I can forget about trying to talk on the phone or hear my CB at highway speeds.... I just wonder what that thing would look like on my Jeep Green wrangler with my khaki top... it would probably be much more noticeable than it is on your black on black Jeep.... 
Anyway, all that aside, yeah, this thing looks like it might even help with some hard top noise...I mean hell, it covers up the whole seam where the top meets the windwhield frame.
