Solution for Wind Noise with the Malone Roof Rack part # MPG201

Question

Question:

We install the cross bar on my 2013 Nissan Rogue, it was easy to do it, we put a 30 inch space in between the bars , but the wiseling noise its a bit strong, is there anything that could be done to reduce the noise?

Roof racks can add some wind noise. Luckily there is a solution for that. If you install a wind fairing you'll direct the air over the bars and the noise will go away.

For a fairing to use with the Malone roof rack part # MPG201 the part # INA261 would be what you need.

You can also try moving the bars further back on your rack to see if that helps too.
