Any solutions for roof rack winds noise?

[rkhoule]

Just wondering if anybody who has the factory cross bars has come across any solutions to minimize the amount of wind noise coming off these things (with the exception of completely getting rid of them). I do like the look of them, but crazy loud. Any other brands that look good but are quieter? Thanks

Yea same I just turn the radio up and if anything I am kind of use to it after 6 months or so

Couldn’t help myself with the gif, but really your only option. I took mine off. It’s so easy to do, I’ll just put it on as needed

How much does it make a difference without it?

Huge difference. I also noticed a 1.5 mpg drop with them on. I drive 80 miles a day for work, so I’ll take all I can get.

Make sure they are installed the right way, a bunch of people here had them on backwards from dealer and it makes a big difference in noise.

That's true, make sure the smooth side is facing the rear. Makes a huge difference.
