Solution for Preventing Wind Noise of Rhino Rack Roof Rack on Chevy Avalanche
Question:
Hi, I had recently purchased the rhino rack 2500 bars and legs from you and installed it yesterday according to the instructions given. Everything went well with the installation but, according to my wife, there is an annoying whistle coming from the right front legs. So my two questions are 1. What calculator it be from? 2. How do I fix it? Thank you,

Helpful Expert Reply:
Roof racks like the Rhino Rack roof rack part numbers # RRVA137B-2, # RRRLKVA, and # DK227 generally add a bit of wind noise since the bars are on top of the vehicle where the wind is the most prevalent. You will want to make sure the rubber strips are in position on the top and bottom of the bars. We have also found that if you install a fairing like the part # RRRF4 on the front crossbar you can divert the wind over the bars and prevent the biggest portion of wind noise.
