Hello - I just found this forum via the Google. Over the summer I bought a Roof Transport System for my 996 and I'm getting ready for my first ski trip with it. First test drive it whistled like crazy - just an unreasonable amount of noise. It started whistling at around 30 mph and at speed It sounded like I had a dozen boiling tea kettles on my roof. I did check the orientation of the racks as suggested by RFM, but that wasn't it. I do have the rubber strips that came with the cross beams. The ski carrier instructions make no mention these rubber strips at all. I guess you're supposed to chop them up into segments to fill the voids in the cross beams, but I'm a little reluctant to do that. Eventually I want to get a road bike carrier also, and I don't know if the gap lengths would be the same, and I haven't yet checked to see how available those rubber strips are. So for now I've covered the slots with gaffer's tape, and it eliminated about 90% of the whistle. There is still some noise from the ski carrier itself, but that's to be expected.
