    Roof rack noise

    I'm stoked after picking up my '99 VX this weekend in Mobile AL. Clean, tight and just 20K miles. After 800+ miles over the last two days a have just two complaints. Concrete freeways with expansion joints that aren't flush and noisy roof racks. I stopped to take a look at the racks early on and found nothing loose except a couple of the flaps covering the clamp screws. Made sure the flaps were in place but the racks still howled. I had to crank the music for the 430 miles to Houston. ;eekr;

    I removed the racks overnight in Houston and was blessed with a quiet ride home today but still had the expansion joints to deal with.

    Anyone else had problems with wind noise from the racks at speeds over 55? Anybody fixed it already?

    Thanks,

    John
