One thing that worked well, and may work in the roof rack - expanding foam - fill those cross tubes with it. It may well remove a harmonic!

Great idea, i have a can of it sitting idle.

As you will see it is currently tied to the roof of the garage so have not tried it out yet. As it is not the easiest thing to attach to the car it will have to wait until I need to use it. It could be a while.

It is not the prettiest of things but hopefully it will be useful

It has been a while and have certainly used it on the car, couple of minor mods required to make it fit around the front of the rails but all good. The wind noise has virtually dissapeared, it does not rattle or vibrate. Early this year we did a trip up the Oodnadatta track then back down to Coober Peady, worked a treat might make another one that looks a bit more aesthetically pleasing..
