Pop top driving wind noise

[BobbyMillar]

Hi all, our 2021 MP has recently developed a louder wind noise from the roof when driving into headwinds on the motorway. It never used to do this. I've made sure the pop top is free from leaves etc and had a good look round. Rubber all seems in place etc. I was wondering if anyone else has found this and if its the first sign of a ram starting to come out of alignment.... If so is there a procedure for realignment? Thanks in advance Bobby

no clue but ......there some tiny holes from the sides of the front window leading up to the top.....i think its to create air flow in the canvas area.. you can see the holes if you lift the roof at the front of the rails...... they can make noise if some dirt gets in to the system....more like a whisling noise however ...

Thanks Van Diesel, Ill have a look and check for those ventilation holes and revert with what I find

Hi Van Diesel, thanks your hunch was spot on! Our passenger side vent was properly blocked, a bit of rodding with a bike internal rooting kit and plenty water later were sorted. Now I know they are there easy enough to ensure they are free of debris every once in a while.
