That’s interesting, I thought they were supposed to be pretty quiet.

That is correct - I ran my RTT and Awning on the LFD Crossbars for months before getting their 7/8ths rack (which uses the same crossbars).

I get the same thing between 45-50mph. They sell a wind deflector but the description states it won’t fit with the factory rails. When I open the moonroof the noise goes away.

I didn't have any noise from them... Sounds like something is loose...

Hmm... I wonder if the bars are positioned just right to catch the wind... I didn't have any problems with mine, but I also had a basket on mine from day one. Maybe that did the trick for me?

I helped out with these, and I have the original ones. I can take pics if need be, but my paint job was not good. I still have them on my rig - for the 7/8th rack they just needed to be flipped. They still work perfectly!

I have 4 crossbars and tried moving them around but nothing seems to make much difference.

Looking back at old pics... I had a fairing on my roof basket...

From a different thread...

Pros: low profile, accessories bolt straight on (including RTT), no noise, great looks, great size, great weight capacity, and versatile.
Cons: limited by size of the stock side rails







BONUS! with the mesh off, my RTT bolted right on!!!

Also ran their crossbars but on a 10-13 Trail. I didn't get any wind noise until I mounted my RTT and only above 50 mph.

My setup

How many cross bars did you have when rtt was on them any issues you came across when running this setup?

I just received shipping confirmation on my rack. If anyone has any extra LFD cross bars that they want to part with, I can always use more and will buy them. ;-)

I had 3 ...but only 2 of them were needed. I had rubber spacers on the outer bars to raise the tent up 1/4 inch, and prevent the tent from squeaking on the bars. So the middle bar was not carrying any weight.

That is how I have it now on my 7/8ths rack too. I have one bar that is just there.
