Hardtop banging / flapping in the wind

Not sure, but no good will come of that...the vehicle is already going 55-65, wind gusts themselves can be powerful...it’s going to eventually start stress cracking.

Eventually nice hard tops will be hard to come by.

Totally agree with you there. My hard top is not cracked, but does have chipping around where the hardtop meets the body around the rear corners. I thought about selling the hard top when I switched over to a soft top, but I know that if I ever want to go back to the hardtop it's going to be very hard to find a serviceable one for a decent price. Especially for an early TJ like mine.

Mine just sort of flex wobbles and of all places at the strengthened/ Joint thingy just forward a smidge of the roll bar ,I have the padding so it just does a "Rolf Harris Wobble Board" on me so who needs a radio? :)
