The Malone AirFlow2 Roof Rack gives you solid support for everything from kayaks to rooftop tents. The full-length 58" aluminum crossbars are lightweight but sturdy, with a 165-lb weight capacity so you can haul bulky gear without worry. Their rustproof construction holds up through rain, sun, and long road trips, while the overhang design gives you more mounting space for carriers and accessories.
Wind noise can make long drives exhausting, but the AirFlow2’s aero-style bars cut through the air smoothly. The aerodynamic shape helps control airflow over and under the bars, reducing drag and vibration even at highway speeds. Rubber strips in the T-slots fill gaps to minimize that high-pitched whistling some racks make, keeping your ride quieter and more comfortable.
Getting your gear on the roof shouldn’t feel like a project. The rubber-coated steel clamps on this rack fit tightly around raised side rails without scratching them. Once clamped down with the included installation tool, the towers lock in place with built-in keys to keep everything secure. When you’re done hauling, removal is just as easy—loosen the internal bolts and lift it off as one complete unit.
Whether you use T-slot mounts or standard clamp-on gear, the AirFlow2 can handle both. The integrated top channels let you slide in channel-mounted accessories, while the rubber strips can be trimmed and reinserted around hardware to keep airflow smooth. The crossbars also work with most universal carriers, so your kayaks, cargo boxes, or bike racks all have a place without extra adapters or setup steps.
Each tower is made from molded nylon that resists fading and wear from the elements. Locking covers seal out dirt and moisture while deterring theft when your vehicle’s parked. Plastic endcaps keep water out of the bar interiors, protecting your investment and ensuring your rack stays reliable season after season.

Hey, I get why you’re frustrated, constant wind noise will drive you nuts, especially after you’ve already double-checked the install. I actually have these same bars, and I ran into something similar at first. What made a big difference for me was realizing that the rubber strip on the bottom wasn’t fully seated in the slot. Once I got that pressed in correctly, the whistling dropped off a lot. Might be worth a quick check if you haven’t already. Another thing that can help (not saying you should have to buy more stuff, just sharing what worked) is adding a fairing like part # MAL74SR It pushes the airflow up and over the bars, which can cut down that noise pretty significantly. Totally fair to still feel like they’re not worth it for you, just wanted to pass along a couple things that helped in case you decide to keep messing with them a bit.

They can indeed be noisy, which doesn't make them the best choice for everyone but their inexpensive cost makes them a great choice for some folks.

After a couple years of use these racks have been holding up very well. We originally planned on removing them for the winter but decided to see how they would do in the winter weather. So far no issues. We love them. Great budget option versus Rhino Rack or Thule without sacrificing quality.

The rack has been solid and served us well. There is a bit of wind noise at highway speeds but nothing bothersome. Satisfies with the purchase, for sure.
