Anyone have the Thule Aeroblades?

I'm getting a lot of whistling from these things and I'm hoping somebody else here has them installed and can five me some advice. I followed the instructions to a T. They start to whistle above 25 mph. I can't drive with my sunroof open. I've installed all of the gaskets per the instructions both on top and bottom. I've tried moving the front bar forward 3 inches as well as back, it still whistles.

Anyone have any ideas to try out?

I always had wind noise with my roof rack. I only used mine for snowboards and skis so just a couple months a year. I've heard that the deflectors can help cut down on wind noise a lot though. Might be worth a shot even though it would be more $$. I just dealt with it and took them off when I knew I wouldn't be using the rack again for a while.

Unfortunately the fairing won't fit the aeroblades. They don't make one for those because they're supposed to be so quiet. Ha!

Yea, I hear that. Usually the noise is from the "feet" and not the blades themselves.
