Zipper Condoms!

[TJTimmah]

There are some noises out there that annoy me.... a LOT. Soft top zippers clinking together is one of those noises. It. Drives. Me. Nuts. Things can rattle, clank, chirp, or scream at me (married 27 years), and I'm totally immune. Throw that zipper clink at me and my head explodes! Any way, here's a cheap 'fix' for noisy zippers, lol.

Pencil grips! Not the funky shaped ones, just plain old round ones. Add soapy water and BOOM! Zipper condoms!

For some reason I thought this thread was going to be something painful , like scene out of 'There's something about Mary'

Great idea, and cheap too...the wind noise I have from my soft top drowns out any noise like that, which is great ( I think )

If you can hear your zipper clanking your tires are not aggressive enough! JK, funny heading and good solution for the problem.

I use wire heat shrink tubing.

Haha, that's awesome... especially the title!

I use wire heat shrink tubing.

I didn't even think of that! I came across the pencil grips and the squirrels started running in the wheel, lol.

How did you get the beans above the frank??

Those paracord zipper pulls also seem to be heavy enough to stop any noise and give you a better grip.

I can relate! I had a rattle somewhere underneath it was driving me out of my mind! Like a BB in a beer can ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping!
I changed out so many parts to try and fix it, no luck! finally took into a shop, it was the 4x4 linkage.

Apparently I listen to my music too loud.

I never knew the zipper pulls made noise.
