I mounted my Thule roof rack on the roof of my 745, of all places, and holy moly it makes a lotta noise. I put the front bar in line with the back edge of the front door (or front edge of the back door if you're a glass-is-half-empty type) and the back bar a bit behind the rear doors. And it has "Q" towers for wahatever that's worth.

I couldn't believe how loud it was! A viscious howel from about 35 mph on up. Is there a preferred spot to mount racks to minimize noise? Do those farings get rid of the noise? I'd like to have the rack up there all the time for carrying stuff and things, and I'd like it to be quiet, not loud. Suggestions?

Thanks.

BTW, is 745 the correct nomenclature here? I know that's how 240 wagons are spoken of amongst the bricksters, same with the 700's?
