So, I have the light bar mounted now and only wiring left. This kit comes with mounting brackets for hard top and soft top. The Soft top bracket is taller. Now I understand why the redesigned to the taller bracket. When I installed it with the shorter bracket, at speeds over 30mph it caused a flag flapping sound in the soft top. With the taller bracket, there is no flapping and no whistling sound. Once you get up over 60mph, there is a very slight hum, but it is not that bad.20220124_121827706_iOS.jpg20220129_154752740_iOS.jpg20220129_155848700_iOS.jpg20220129_155859155_iOS.jpg20220129_155911184_iOS.jpg20220129_171409479_iOS.jpg20220129_173127647_iOS.jpg

I have the same light bar withthe taller mounts and a soft top. Mine is so noisy that I'm thinking about taking it off. Is yours quiet with and without the ford light covers?

Yeah it’s quieter with the covers, but still noisy. I’m got to call ford performance next week about it. The short bracket produces no wind noise, but makes the soft top flap like a flag. But someone I asked about it last week said they don’t have the flapping. Did you try the short bracket?

The dealer who installed mine said it did not come with the shorter mounts. Some say the taller mounts work fine with no noise. I'm going to try the:

KC pro 6 I had to use Rough country mounts. KC doesn't make them for the Bronco yet.

The ZroadZ diffuser worked like a charm.
