Recommended Quietest Roof Rack For A 2022 Chevy Bolt EV With Naked Roof

Question:

Hi. I want to get a roof rack put on my new 2022 Chevy Bolt EV. I am looking for the quietest option I can get my hands on. The last one I had I needed to use a fairing thing to keep the noise down and it did help, but it was a square crossbar. What do you recommend for my Bolt? There were a lot of options on your website and from looking at them, I found out I have a "naked roof".

If you are looking for the quietest roof rack system for your 2022 Chevy Bolt EV, you will want to go with the Yakima JetStream Crossbars # Y00425. The asymmetrical JetFlow shape and built-in WindRidge helps to control air flow over and under these bars which dramatically reduces wind noise and vibration, even at highway speeds. So if you are looking for a good rack that wont be too loud, this is definitely the way to go. You can still use something like the Yakima WindShield Fairing # Y05018, but it isn't totally necessary.

Pairing the crossbars with the BaseLine Towers # Y28TR and the # Y06123 and # Y06181 BaseClip Fit Kits will complete this roof rack on your Bolt EV.
