Default Soft Top Wind Noise

So my Soft Top makes a loud noise while I'm on the free way. The sound is around where the soft top meets the windshield, and it sounds like the wind is hitting a spread out blanket that won't give in to flapping. I don't know if its normal or not, but its definitely annoying when I'm trying to have a conversation or listen to music.

Is there a fix? What do I do?

Most likely your strikers.

Clean the seal around the windshield, and apply Shin-Etsu grease. This should be done every few months according to the manual. If the seal is broken or deformed, replace it.

I have the soft top strikers and don't have any noticeable wind noise, but many people report a better seal and less noise using the hard top strikers, which hold the top forward a little tighter.
