Noisy roof rack

I have a full length alloy rac and moving it back as far as practical helps. Michael

i had mine almost level with the rear doors, no problem.
then i had to move it forward to your position for a reason and the noise is very noticable.
try moving it backwards.

I've on a couple occasions turned up the radios a few notches :-)

the original plastic wind deflector often just fits on the top and bottom bar leaving a large gap between the roof and the rack,i nade a clear perspex deflector that goes to within half an inch of the roof and one inch higher than the rack....result...absolutely no noise at all.

your obvoiusly going too fast.....slow down...wont make so much noise and the others will be able to keep up with you

Ahhh, the perspex front wind deflector, useless in cross winds and when you load up the roof rack. Best advice I got from ARB when I got mine fitted was not to bother with the deflector as they do nothing.

There is absolutely no way you can make a roof rack more aerodynamic and produce less noise.

The only way to stop the wind noise is to take the roof rack off or learn to live with it.

Took mine off for a while as the car wouldn't fit in the garage. Put in on for a trip and left it on as I use it too much for other stuff. I travel the M1 between Brisbane and the Gold Coast with mainly easterly cross winds and you just learn to live with it and turn the radio up.

yeah.

Took it off and migrated to a trailer.

Much the same economy and more comfortable travelling.

Sounds silly but chuck something up there, nearly anything will do but seems to work.

Certainly does on my son's 100 series with ARB rack fitted.
