Technical Roof rails/bars

Try Traynors (Traynors.co.uk), they get a lot of (Republic of) Irish stock and the longitudinal roof bars are standard spec on every Panda in Ireland bar the 25 100HPs Fiat Auto Ireland have imported.


Thanks Cian, i did mail them after you mentioned them on another post, not heard anything back though. Getting desparate so might start asking other panda owners i see if they want to sell them . So many Panda owners in B'mth with the bars and you know they never use them.
 
I installed these roof bars on my Panda, and immediately I noticed a whistling noise over my head, as soon as I reached the 40 km/h.
Tried to move them backwards, but the whistle remains.
Tried as forward as possible with no luck as well.

Any suggestions from you, would be highly appreciated.

Remove them, only fit them when required (y)

Saves fuel and wind noise.
 
Latest news. I think I've fixed it. Not sure so though, because it's raining today and the tires cover any other noise.
What I did. Both rails have groove underneath, so they can be adjusted at any desired length. I supposed that the wind noise was coming from that groove. I just covered it with a plastic adhesive tape.
I will keep you posted, as soon as I have the final conclusion.
