Default No longer whistling Dixie

I had the dealer replace the header bow and now the wind noise is greatly decreased and the whistling has stopped! The part number is "68049276AB header-folding top". I only had to say that there was a lot of wind noise and the tip whistles. If you have the old header bow, be sure to get this replaced before your warranty runs out.

Before: notice the black line just above the windshield frame. This is the gap with the header bow slightly rasied above the windshield.


Now, here is is after header bow replacement. Notice that there is no longer the gap and the topd sits level with the top of the widshield frame. The difference is subtle but makes a big difference.

Thanks. I'm going to head over to my dealership and talk to them about this. Thanks for the part number.

Question:

-At highway speeds (65-75) can you actually hear your passenger talk to you now?

Just a quick note, it is under TSB# 23-010-09 Rev A. You must report wind noise, but it actually fixed my leaks too.

Same and my dealer said you he had to search wind-noise not wind noise if they can't find it that may be worth a shot.

This worked but I still hate my dealer, I did not buy from them.
