@ Heine...

And does this really make a difference in noise.....???

Cause like said, up to 90km/h it's just fine....at 140km/h you think there is a airbus flying above you constantly

thx for your feedback

TBH I didn't notice a huge difference in wind noise , but it does make a funny rattle from time to time . I suspect that the mesh is rubbing against the rack somewhere . I normally only have the RR on for overlanding , so its just one rattle in amongst many from all the crap on the roof

NIce picks Heine, thanks


Looks good but I can imagine its noisy alright. YOu have probably seen that some on here have put a rubber skirt for want of a better off the front of the expo rack which reduces drag and therefore noise but not sure if possible on the Frontrunner. Might be worth a shot
