Re: roof rack carrier bars = wind noise?

[Matthew Wanderer <mwanderer@earthlink.net>]

Speaking of roof racks, I have been trying to track down a manufacturer 
called Rola for quite some time with no luck.

I was lucky enough to have possession of a set for about a year and fell 
in love with them for a number of reasons.  

They were the quietest racks I'd ever experienced, they were fast on and 
fast off, the accessories were excellent, and the low, slim profile of 
the rack was_very_appealing.  And I wasn't the only one who thought so.  
I can't tell you how many people left notes on my windshield asking where 
they could get a set.

Any help would be appreciated!

Matthew.
