Recommended Rubber Strips And Bike Racks For Rhino-Rack Vortex Aero Crossbars on 2017 Honda Odyssey
Question:
I bought a Rhino roof rack system with aero bars from you for my 2017 Odyssey with no roof hardware. Had it professionally installed. Two questions. 1 It’s very noisy at anything over about 45-50 mph. Whistling seems to come mostly from right front. Was my system supposed to have covers for the channels to reduce that? Anything else I can do? Two, Can you tell Me what bike carriers are compatible with my system? Thank you.

Thank you for purchasing your Rhino-Rack Roof Rack System for your 2017 Honda Odyssey from us!
The Rhino-Rack Vortex Aero Crossbars # RRVA126B-2 you purchased should have come with Vortex Strips to help prevent wind noise. If you need a replacement or additional strips you can use # RRM626.
For a bike rack that will work with your crossbars I recommend the Yakima HighRoad Roof Bike Rack # Y02114 due to it allowing you to keep the front wheel installed on the bike.
A few other options that will work with your crossbars are the Thule ProRide XT Roof Bike Rack # TH598004, and the Rhino-Rack MountainTrail Rooftop Bike Carrier # RBC035.
I included videos to all of the bike racks mentioned for you to take a look at.
