Hey David, the most important dimension you mentioned is the 7/16 inch width of the top part of the channel which matches what the Rhino Rack crossbar dimensions have so you could the part # RRM626 which is a 15-3/4 inch long strip. You could order several to match the channel length that you have. This will do a great job reducing the wind noise. Does it sound like a loud whistle currently? Exposed channels can be pretty crazy sounding on crossbars on the highway.

Hey David, how did things turn out with the Rhino-Rack rubber strips on your Q5’s crossbars? Did they help cut down the wind noise on the highway? Your feedback could really help others trying to quiet their roof racks.
