My 7/8ths rack arrived yesterday. I'm going to either install it tonight or tomorrow. I'm as giddy as a school girl!

Hey guys, regarding the wind noise, that appeared when we switched the design from mounting holes on top to the slots. The noise does seem to go away if you have something bolted to the crossbar, only really seems to appear when empty. Even just installing a bolt with some washers is enough sometimes to cut the noise down.

We are working on some prototype bolt on farings that will work with the stock roof rail setup. They're currently enroute to a few customers for further testing, and if everything is good we'll release them for production very soon.

We didn't want to go back to the holes because we feel the slots offer so much more flexibility in mounting accessories.

Could we get some answers to posts #47 & 48. I would appreciate it.And what is the total weight of the 3/4 rack?

What is the total weight of the LFD 3/4 rack in aluminum as compared to steel? What type of wind noise does this rack produce and is there any clearance problem with a sunroof? Also, any measurable difference in gas mileage? TIA

I think that most will agree that noises are tolerable in exchange for vast functionality.

Thanks!

Looking forward to seeing the faring for crossbars on stock rails. That might require me to spend some money.

I liked the look of your gear. Last month when I was buying the site said you wouldn't ship so I moved on and ordered from others. (I still like your stuff)

They've been out at our powder coater now for two weeks. They should be back next week. We're actively working on switching to a new powder coating vendor to help speed up the process and improve delivery.

Send me a PM though with your order number also if you don't mind.

We're actually discontinuing the 3/4, only keeping the 7/8 and full. The 3/4 just didn't make a lot of sense when compared to the 7/8, it was very similar in length.

The aluminum crossbars weigh 1.5 pounds versus 5 pounds for steel. The main advantage is no rusting as the powder gets scratched and worn with use.
