Thule Roof Rack for Protege Sedan
Hey Guys,
Anyone else have any similar experiences with a Thule Roof Rack? (I got it to carry my kayak).
1) The instruction sheet says to locate the front bar forward enough that you can't pull out the radio antenna. What's up with that? I need my radio antenna extended!
SO, I located the front bar backwards a bit until I could get the antenna out.
BUT
2) Now I get a lot of wind noise, especially with my sunroof open.
I'm thinking of getting one of the Thule Spoilers, but am not sure if it will work/fit with my "modified" front bar location.
Does anyone else have any similar experiences, advice, tips, or tricks? Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
Eric

You will alwaysget noise. The spoiler (fairing) does help a little bit. Play with the position of the fron bar, I install mine where the antena bends a bit to get under the bar. The racks work great but they are not the very areodynamic.
