Only fit the cross braces when you need them! Rails by themselves do not cause much noise..... JT Upgraded to an ex demo, 7 mth old, Rimini Red/Ebony Napoli Auto HSE on 28th Jan 2011, added roof rails, mudflaps and side strips.

It's missing from mine too, trololoka, and I haven't been able to find a replacement. So if anyone can be of assistance, I'll be very grateful as well. Leopard tank drivers never stop at anything.

Glad to hear, Oscr, how long did you enjoy the silence? My brand-new crossbar lasted for about a month, the spoiler peels off times easier than a sticker-label... start to doubt sanity of LR constructors...

I've gotten immune to the wind noise, actually. But I would still like to have it fixed. And I'm wondering if there is a way to screw it in place, sort of lock it to the crossbar? Leopard tank drivers never stop at anything.

I think a good heavy-duty double-sided tape (not too thick, to keep the gap) or a glue could work. There is not even a trace of adhersive left on the bar exept a thin line of something dry and friable in the middle .

Been there, done that, trololoka. The tape-trick didn't help. Wear and wind will quickly tear it off. Leopard tank drivers never stop at anything.

I still can't believe the spoiler isn't a replaceable spare part.

Restored the plastic strip with a rivet gun, some RTV SILICONE ADHESIVE SEALANT, a piece of old body kit plastic and black spray paint. The ends of spoiler are indented in the side undercovers silent up to 130kmh so far |
