NOISE REDUCTION:
Here are some quick tips to try if you are experiencing noise such as
whistling from your rack :
SECURE IT!
Reread through the installation instructions enclosed in your parts bag. Be
sure to check to make sure all hardware is fastened securely. Periodically check
to make sure all hardware is securely fastened and rack is in good repair.
SEAL IT!
After you have properly installed the rack and all the mounting hardware is
tight, be sure to seal all areas where tubes telescope. This will not only
prolong the life of your rack by disallowing moisture to enter inside the cross
bars (ESPECIALLY ON STEEL MODELS), it will also block wind, reducing whistling
and keeping everything tight and secure.
MOVE IT!
9 times out of 10, simply moving the FRONT Cross Bar forward or backward a
few inches will dramatically effect any noise. If the Front Cross Bar is in
direct flow off air coming off the windshield, move the FRONT bar out of "the
line of fire".
