Thanks for any insight and suggestions.
Thule roof bars wind noise.
Thule edge and thule evo.
I just installed a thule roof rack on ny 2004 honda accord.
These roof rack cross bars also have many smart design features.
Is there a way to stop the whistling without installing a fairing as i really do not like the look of the fairings.
Cross bars cross bars hold everything together.
A wind fairing is a plastic shield attaches to the front cross bar and attempts to divert airflow over and away from the bar to reduce wind noise and drag.
Thule s aero bars are undoubtedly the best option but alas they are also the most expensive.
The low profile thule edge system offers a sleek integrated design while the thule evo system maximizes the loading area and comes with a variety of load bar options.
Square circular or aero.
Choose aerodynamic roof bars for superior performance and a sleek sophisticated look that complements the lines of your car.
The aluminium extrusion creates one of the strongest load bars in the market.
Square bars are the cheapest although they are the least aerodynamic meaning more whistling at high speeds and a higher mpg.
Hi all i am about to buy some roof bars and just wondered if anyone can give me an info on wind noise from the thule aero bars.
The next generation of roof racks.
I have found there to be a lot of wind noise from the towers and cross bars without the j racks installed even at low speeds.
Just got a new setup thule 450r aero bars echelon tray mounts and it whistles above 20mph which is annoying especially when i have my sunroof open.
Will a thule fairing be effective in reducing the noise and will it make the rack nore aerodynamic when not carrying the kayak.
There are three main types.
A textured surface disturbs the airflow and greatly reduces wind noise.
