Ok, a few things to look at/try real quick.
First, give each crossbar a knock, and make sure one isn't loose. I've missed tightening a bolt before, and it made some noise. The crossbar with the loose bolt made an obvious noise difference when knocking on it.
Second, if they're all tight, we should have sent some rubber tape with the hardware. See if the front feet are touching metal on the roof anywhere, and if so use some of that rubber tape on the bottom of the foot where yous see contact. If you ran out of the tape or discarded it, we can send you more.
Lastly, I don't remember which rack you got, but if it's an all aluminum one with no steel crossbars at all, adding a couple steel crossbars may stiffen it up and take out any excess movement if it is an all aluminum. We can send you a few to swap out and try if so.
Im out of the office for the next 10 days at the trade show for the parent company, but I can have someone in the office send stuff if you need.
