Yakima Whispbar vs Thule aeroblade edge

ejw2011 · 11-25-2015, 08:08 AM

I'm interested getting a roof rack system and wonder anyone have any personal feedbacks on their x3. Wind noise and moonroof clearance are my concerns. Thanks

Have Rhino Rack 2500 Vortex, very good build quality. But still produces fair amount of wind noise even though it is aero-shaped. Clears panoramic sunroof in all positions.

If you are really concerned about wind noise maybe choose one that can be taken off easily?

I have the Thule Whisper bars with a small fairing and rocky mount trays. Wind noise is nominal and clearance is fine.
