I've got a full length Rhino with the backbone and get noise with cross winds but not much otherwise. I also got road noise from the Maxxis 980s when new but now they're about 3/4 worn that's quietened down.
I get more noise from the navigators side …..

Just crank the music up. Simples.

I’ve got a three quarter length rhino platform. A bit of noise, but it doesn’t worry me. Noting the original comment about it being a PITA to put the rack on and off, I’ve got six of the rhino quick release feet, which makes this task pretty easy. Along similar lines, I’ve also got quick release brackets for the awning, which make it very easy and quick to take that on and off. I now happily change the roof configuration around easily, whereas before it used to be a RRPITA.
To remove mine, I drive into the garage, lift the car to max height. Then I tie the rack to the beams above the car, unbolt it, and lower the car to drive out, leaving the rack suspended in the garage. It's a bit tricky lining up to refit it though.

Here are two questions;
1 - The people with a noise issue did you cut the plastic cover strip as the Backbone instructions tell you?
2 - The people without a noise issue (From the roofrack) did you did you cut the plastic cover strip as the Backbone instructions tell you?
I don’t have a noise issue and did not cut the cover strip, it still runs the complete length of the roof. My D4 had no factory short or long bars fitted.

Mine is noisy and cut.
Remember though, correlation is not causation.
