    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 …..

    I think the only variation to others is that I have two crossbars/tracks mounted to the top of mine that I mount my roof box to. Maybe that causes some additional turbulence??
    Mine was horrendous at first. Then I put the tyres on. They were worse. Now I don't hear it at all.

    I'll get the deflector fitted soon and report back

    Can she hear it over her complaining about your driving and the fact that you own a Land Rover?

    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.

    I'll await your thoughts with the deflector installed to see if I'll get one.

    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.
