mine doesn't have the little spoilers bumps you can see on your 1st photo, and you might be able to make out a ridge that runs the full width, which is a protruding 'v' shaped (not a V shaped channel)

Well, I have the sunroof, and the rails are factory fitted, so I'm a bit puzzled by the noise. And the rail has both spoilers and a ridge that runs the full lenght of the crossbar.

i appreciate the rails are factory fit (done by dealer I believe) but when the FL2 was launch they then realised the rails whistled and released separate sets for sunroofed and non sunroofed FL2

If there is no parts missing from the crossbar, then I'm inclined to think that LR (or the dealer) mounted the wrong type of crossbar. I checked with to other FL2's one older and one newer than mine, and they had the crossbar without the ridge underneath, which leads me to one possible solution:

i don't think you'll be able to buy just the cross member, like you can do with the fitting kit

sorry but I'd still remove the OEM rails.........don't like the way they look. The Whispbars would be my only option.

Attached a gaffa-tape along the ridge, voila. No noise at all, so it seems the crossbar may be the wrong type.
