Found a way to reduce cabin noise in the Bronco Sport

[bstn rnr]

Made a video because it was easier than making multiple posts in various Bronco Sport groups. Apologies for the amateur nature of the video but it was a one-man show.

Maybe there was a quality control problem with newer models. I have a 2022 BB, and there is already a rubber gasket material that fills the crevice at the top of the windshield.
Good suggestions for a DIY fix on the cabin sound issue.

Mine is a 21 and the gap is significant. I checked a 23 model and it has the gap too. I have a rubber strip in it but it's so far down the windshield you can hardly see it. But, others have said they don't hear a wind noise so maybe it is a QC issue.

Very cool. I never saw that. Might have to give it a try.

I found that leaving the wife at home reduces a lot of the cabin noise.

I also have a ‘22 BB and already have a rubber material filling the gap. Very weird that something like that is missed on certain cars?

Will it still drain? Take care not to trap dirt and water and eventually cause corrosion.

I would think Ford has a part number if some have the gap covered.

I have one too, it's just very small and tucked in way down.

Water seems to roll right off. It's quite snug in there but could always be periodically cleaned out of needed.

I take it your wife isn’t on the forum!

Of course not.

My "21 has gap between roof and windshield and it is very quiet at highway speeds. Mine is factory moonroof.

I've been hearing from people who's cabins are loud, and others, like you, who have no issues. All I can say is this trick worked for me.
