To Thule roof bars owner :
How do the bars sound when driving ?
I just bought another brand (La Prealpina - made in Italy) that work the same as Thule (bars + feets + kit) only its 30% cheaper.
BUT, and this is a HUGE but, the noise they make is unbearable (like a big pan-flute).
Its annoying at 90kph
Much too loud at 110kph
You cannot reach highter speed for fear the vibes will destroy the roof.
Roof bars on my former car (a Picasso) were barely noticeable, and I've made long trips at 110kph without problem.
