73-75 k5?

[1leg]

Do the 73-75 K5s have any issues with leaking or wind noise with the full Fiberglass tops? How do the half tops do?

I have driven a soft top jeep for 2 years now and I really don't want to deal with leaks and wind noise anymore.

Thanks Guys

My family has owned a 73 since new off the lot. As long as the seals are in good shape no real leaking problems. The top is a double layer design so wind noise is at a minimum. the half tops will always seal up easier as there are far fewer seals to deal with but you loose the full convertible option.

Cheers,

Rufus

I have owned soft top jeeps for years and now own a 75 Jimmy. There is a world of difference. The seals on my Jimmy are 35 years old and not the best but its still 10 time quieter and drier than a soft top jeep.

Come on, comparing a soft top heep to a hard top K5 is like comparing dirt clods to diamonds. It just ain't right.

leave the top off, problem solved.

With the top on my 73 with new seals had more wind noise than my BILs 77, I never had a problem with leaking and i drove it through some downpours and all winter long for a several years.

You can't even compare it to a soft top jeep

I've got a full top and a half top. Cant tell the difference.

No problems with my top when it on. But then again between tire noise and exhaust I don't here wind noise.
