Unfortunately, wind is a major pain in our part of central Montana, so yeah it occurs quite often 50% of the time on the highway. If your in a less windy area, then maybe not such a big issue.

The slapping sound is a big annoyance to me, I always slow down cause I don't know if the dang thing is going to break or what.
I may try and put Gorilla tape on the windshield and the base of the marker light to keep the wind from getting in between for our CO/UT trip.

I'm to the point that I may put some clear caulking in the space between the plastic base and roof later this spring.

Ohhhhh so theres a space between the plastic base and the thing the marker lamps are attached too?! no wonder its makeing that noise ill just check it before i drive away if it has the space if it does ill have fix it if not were all good. And no wind usually isnt a problem down here in South Florida execpt for a Hurricane so thats no big deal. Also im hardly ever on the highway so i would never be going fast for a long period of time (often that is) that would bother me.

Basically the bottom of the plastic base is sitting on your metal roof.

This link is from a a member of the old forum, I'm not sure if he is still around. Scroll down to where he is installing his off road light kit. It
gives you a pretty good idea of what they are going to do to your
truck.

Yeah, if you aren't going to get much wind or do much highway driving with it, then probably won't be much of a problem.
