Welcome to soft top ownership. On my Sierra, I either unzipped the back flap and let it flap in the wind, or rolled it up. That way there's nowhere near as much noise and insanely annoying sounds.

But it is a common problem.

adds to the charm of the vehicle. :lol:
you could get some vents cut into the rear of the canopy, in a large U shape, then reinforced so when it rains it doesn't come into the car.

yup - if you're running a full roof, unzip the back - you don't need to un-stud it, just open the zips.

Often having both windows open helps too, rather than just the drivers side.

Do you have these tension straps at the back?

They help a lot too.
