Maybe you could get your local sheetmetal guy to bend a piece of 1/8th flat bent at 45 degrees
and somehow bolt it under the cage and on top of the first bar, maybe just enough to disturb the air
and make for a quieter drive,
Could use gal but treat any cut edges
04 ST 3lt auto, not enough Mods to keep me happy, but getting there
Been reading this forum for ages, I know I should do an intro bit first but this is the first thread that I might be able to help out with.
I took the roof rack of the gq to paint it a while ago and when I put it back on the wind noise was so loud it hurt (before I put it on it was just noticeable). When I put it on it was about 10cm further forward than before, when I moved out back it was fine again.
I found cable tying the mesh to the tubes helped a lot in my case. The mesh was welded, but not in all spots, so the cable ties helped. I had some large cable ties to do this.

Thanks guys. I actually have moved the platform forward about 10 cm as well when I added the 2 extra bars. I think that gq_simon is on to something.
And Clunk you are correct, it is the type of platform in your picture.
Do you think having 5 bars would affect the harmonics?
Maybe I should move the front bar back behind the drivers door or over B pillar and move the whole rack until it over hangs the rear (used to stick out the back previously).
