    How so. The wind deflector is mounted underneath the leading edge of the front cross rail. It does not protrude above the rack.

    Gus,
    By 'supplied wind deflector' I take it you mean the two piece angle that fits to the underside. You need to fit this! Without it you will get reverberations throughout the whole car at speeds around 60. It's similar to when you have only one rear window down.
    If you get whistling, excessive wind noise and/or vibrations, try the remedy I pointed out a few posts back.
    Cheers, Mungus.

    Narangga has a pic on page 3 of this thread.

    Keep in mind a lot of the instructions show the rack in the upside down position.
    Cheers, Mungus.

    I saw a good looking rack in supacrap recently made by Rola. Had all the extras as does the Rhino etc. plus had lengthwise slats which should help keep any noise down.
    Cook liked the look of it as well but reckons now we're (maybe/probably) keeping the Deafener we don't need anything else hanging off the Disco......

    Also interested in any other suggestions / recommendations anyone has.
    Thanks, Jock.
    Hi Jock
    I had 3/4 length factory rails before I fitted my full length rack. I went to the expense of purchasing new full length gutter mouldings from LR directly. I offset the cost by selling my 3/4 rails. A word of warning if you do this. Make sure you are able to transport the new mouldings home from the spares department. Each moulding comes in a 3-4m long cardboard tube and I had already taken my old rack off!! I had a devil of a time fitting them in the cabin!
    When I fitted the rack, rather than cutting the mouldings around the rack feet, i kept them as one piece And opened up the holes in them to be large enough such that the feet of the rack sat directly onto the roof studs.
    Hope this helps,
    Matt

    How much Oztourer? I was quoted in the region of 1700 bucks just for those rails when I bought my D4 last November. Very pricey to my way of thinking.
    Cheers.
