Fitted a new set of roof bars on the Disco, is there a preffered potition to fit them to avoid the whistling noise  when driving , or will they whistle no matter what potition i lock them in ?
any info would be great  I have enough money to last me the rest of my life.Unless i buy something..

I've had my bars on since Day 1 ... 3.5 years ago.
Must say, I don't get any noise ... well not that I notice?
btw, thought there was only one fixed position for each bar ...
or is that on earlier models only???? I was a normal heterosexual chap, but in these new woke awakenings I now identify as a Wardrobe.

Yep, they only fix in certain places (where the notches in the rails are).
And with the rubber strip removed, they whistle like crazy.

roof bar noise pales into insignificant background ambience when compared to the roar/thunder/end of humanity noise a freshly fitted Windcheetah rack makes down the M4 at 80 as I discovered after picking it up from Ken the other night, well when I say picked up I actually mean 'fitted' and theeeeennn......???
