Roof rack question

[Joey83]

Last night I found this roof rack and tray for my car and thought I would ask how much noise such a thing would make.

It is part of the plan I have for my Hyundai as it would give me more useable storage for future roadtrips or if I need to transport something (or maybe put a full size spare tire up there).

The items in question.

I think that will be a difficult question to answer unless you talk to another owner of your same vehicle. I had a similar setup on my Subaru Outback, and it didn’t add *too* much wind noise. But when I moved the rack and basket over to my 4Runner, the noise was intolerable.

Unload and loaded differ greatly and how you pack it can make another differance
Simple things like sheeting it up and. Sizes of boxes etc make all the differace

Thanks guys, I don't want my car to look like every other first generation Tucson over here, which is why I want to make a few changes to it.

No idea if you have a lot of parking garages over there, we do here. With a rack like that that sits on top of the other rack things (don't know the word right now xD) you are putting on a lot of height!

Can imaging it would put on quite a bit of noise as well though.

If I ever get a rack I'm getting me one of these http://www.rhinorack.nl/AccSubCategory_Pioneer-Alloy-Platform-Racks_Page_1_Accessory_Pioneer-Platform_477_64.aspx they have their own set of 'feet'. In total it will just be 2 CM higher then the stock bars are right now.

We have a few parking garages up here, but I usually stay away from them unless it's pouring down (if that's the case I stay at home).

And my SUV is only 1.8m tall.
