2000 Wrangler TJ Sport-Reduce wind noise-- potential hardtop repair?

[Rach.Jeeper09]

Hello--
-I just bought a used 2000 Wrangler sport... it currently has a hard top of the same year.
-I love my jeep, and I don't mind the jeep noise. However, there is a slight gap in the hardtop (the line almost in line with the steering wheel) that is larger than it should be (we are talking centimeters). I believe it makes the noise greater than it usually would be, and I am also afraid that I will lose some of my heat and AC because of it.
-I am curious to see your thoughts on what I should do (fix it?)
-Would it potentially reduce some of the noise and keep my heat and AC in more efficiently if I did something to fix it?

Thanks

Welcome to teh board!!
First thing you'll find is there is lots of heat and AC, so loosing a bit doesn't matter much.

Pics would help a lot. Much of what could be wrong could be how the top was put on. Are you talking about a notch at a point or more of a horizontal slit across the top of the windshield?
