Model Y OEM Roof Rack - Whistling

The only real solution is using a fairing like the one here.

Except it isn’t based on my first-hand experience and that of others. The whistling can be completely eliminated without using a fairing.

Hello all,

Been a member since my purchase of a MYP in 2022 and so far, the drive and everything about the Tesla has been great. I recently pulled the trigger on the Tesla OEM roof rack, and sad to report, it has been the most disappointing Tesla experience ever.

The install was simple. Once I had the roof rack installed, I suddenly noticed more wind noise and a very noticeable whistling at 50 mph and above. Strangely, when it rains, the whistling is faint/ almost nonexistent. Have any of you encountered this? Looking for some thoughts/solutions as I love having the roof rack on to distinguish my car among the 100+ MYP that I drive by daily, but the noise is a very distracting and annoying element.

Hey there. That's a bummer about the wind noise from the OEM roof rack. It's a drag when something meant to enhance the car ends up being a nuisance. Have you tried adjusting the rack to see if that changes the noise? Sometimes it's just a matter of getting a tighter fit or a different angle.

On another note, if you're open to alternatives, you might want to look into the Tesla Model Y roof rack from TESERY. It could be worth a shot to see if it offers a quieter ride. A few folks have mentioned they've had a better experience with it in terms of wind resistance and noise levels. Hope you find a solution that lets you keep that unique look without the whistle!

Another useless vendor post. I'm done with TMC.

That site is loaded to the gills with terrible fake reviews too using pictures they stole from this site. I don’t think you can trust a word they say.
