Roof bars

Msportdriver1 · 05-13-2019, 03:16 AM

Hi i have just fitted and used the BMW roof bars for my 2017 X3, they have the BMW cycle carriers fitted,does anyone else have these and suffer from "whistling" as you drive along particularly above 40 mph?

Figure out where the gaps are that are the potential cause of the noise and use some heavy duty tape and wrap those spots.
