Works like a charm. I had terrible wind noise even at 35mph and I barely hear a thing at 60+ mph. Thanks for the tip!

Excellent and inexpensive solution! Was hearing excessive whistling driving at 60Km/h. After wrapping the bar with a bungee cord, it went away! Thanks again

diameter of cord is 5mm

I just bought a $4 swimming pool noodle foam and put it below the roof rack. Worked.

Nice. Gonna have to try it

My one at 70 mph the noise disappear.

I’ll be damned….I’m going to give this a shot. I have crossbars on the leer camper shell on my GMC truck. It whistles like your blowing across the top a coke bottle. After looking at a cross section of the bars online I noticed mine doesn’t have the rubber in fill on the bottom and that has got to be where my whistle is coming from. I’m looking for that rubber piece but I’ll try this truck until I can find it.

what kind of knot did you use?

Mini vortex generator

Interesting fix! I’ve never liked roof racks. I was glad the 2012 R didn’t have them. I removed the rails from my 2014 Jetta Sportwagon to eliminate wind noise and drag, plus added benefit of 1-2 miles per gallon on the highway! Great video! Cool to add actual proof of benefit! Safe driving and have fun doing it!

Love this. Going to try it on my Yakima round crossbars.

Awesome video and awesome noise solution!!!

great tip worth a try

I just did this for my front and back crossbars. I hope it works

looking forward to trying this tomorrow. was kicking myself after i drove of after opting for the sware bars. but im not giving near 200 for the other ones! at 30mph its bad. at 60mph would put your head in meltdown. im feeling hopeful now!

Just taking a look at the R in the thumbnail told me it was a vw (hopefully Golf) video 😁

It works ! So simple and effective 🙂👍

Wow noticable difference, Thanks for sharing! :)

it works like a champ ^_^ ty

What type of knot is he tying in the first and last part to keep it tight?
