Rough Country Light Bar mounts cause whistling


Recommended Posts

Posted

I bought a 50" LED Light bar off ebay and installed it with the rough country upper windshield mounts that actually get riveted into the door jab. Since installing its like driving with the windows barley cracked and whistles rather loudly. Has anyone encountered this before? If this is a known issues I guess poor research on my part. Is there any solution to this? Also, would any of the below light bar ROOF mounts work with any standard 50" curved light bar?

Thanks for the help.

It's the light bar not the mounts. Does it on my 4wheeler light bar as well. Starts around 40mph and continues to a high pitch whistle the faster I go. It's due to the design of the light bar

i assume ur light bar is curved judging by ur last question I plan on getting one as well sad to hear ur experiencing that noise but I would check door seal,mount and etc. I wouldn't think it would be the light bar but hey I'm no expert in aerodynamics. Keep us updated.

I have read a couple threads on Jeep forums stating the noise is from the light bar itself. But its more of a sound like my windows are cracked, and the noise is coming from the door seal. It makes the sound whether I am going 20mph or 70mph

Can't remember who but someone posted a fix for that issue maybe they will chime in soon can't find their post but I believe they put something behind the door seal so it would close tighter good luck!
