It's fair to say that if you are carrying a load of bikes on the roof there will be wind noise, but a good set of roof bars will minimise it. Aluminium bars create less drag than steel roof bars and therefore have less of an effect on fuel consumption. This is important, especially if you are likely to use your roof bars frequently or to leave them in place for many weeks at a time. Of all the options, solid roof rails are the most durable since there is no gap between the car and the rail. In theory, that means they can handle increased weight (although your car's roof might not). But as for functionality, they are not really that different from any type of rail, but they do have a sleek design which means you’ll often find them on today’s modern cars. This step is fairly straightforward, as removing the rubber strips on your roof shouldn’t be very complicated. On most vehicles, this can be done by hand by pulling on the strips to raise them from your vehicle. Once a section of the strip has been lifted, you can remove it by pulling it towards the front of the vehicle.
Aero bars exclusive to Thule: the most aerodynamic option. Made from aluminium, and reduce wind noise to a minimum. Also a bit more efficient for aerodynamics and therefore fuel consumption. When we were choosing a set of crossbars for our personal vehicle, we spent our own money on the Yakima JetStreams. The company's more than 40-year reputation, limited lifetime warranty, and high-quality, innovative products tipped the decision over their main competitor, Thule. You can use the full length of the bars for fixing your accessories, which may allow you to carry more on the roof, and thereby get better value from the whole system. Whatever you're carrying on the roof bars is fixed to the aluminium bars via the slots that run full length along the tops of the bars. A frequent problem with the cheaper steel bars is that the roof bar feet get in the way of the accessory fixings.
Is it worth investing in a roof rack for my car?
