Soft top roof rack recommendations

I have the GOBI Racks on my Soft Top, I love it. The two drawbacks are you can open to top to the first open position and the rear window-up travel is mostly limited. Those are the only two cons. I can have it from the top completely to the down position and rack it back in place in about 10 minutes or less. Not hard at all. It is sturdy and looks good to me. Can add accessories to it easily. There is a quick release at the light bar area, and by the back bumper is a pivot point to lift and allow the top to go back. There is currently no wind deflector, but heard rumors they are working on one. I have the rear shocks for the rear window, so it holds it up a couple inches, but wouldn't be able to use the factory prop.

That looks awesome! That sounds pretty sweet hopefully they come out with a wind deflector. Will definitely look into it. How bad is the wind noise with it?

Hi all, I’ve been shopping around for roof racks for soft tops and wanna know if anyone has any recommendations. My biggest concerns are:

• Being able to still prop up the rear window/cargo area
• Having a wind deflector so I don’t make the soft top EVEN louder than it already is

It would be nice if it was easy to take it off somewhat quickly in case I wanna put the top back, but not my biggest concern

Not sure if it is what your are looking for but these are great! no drilling, it attaches to the existing frame. Soft top closes over perfectly when not in use.

There is road noise, but nothing I can't put up with. I like to think of it in a positive light. It is loud enough that I can use it as an excuse to stay on the phone, so I can enjoy the drive better.
