Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I really like these bars. Before purchasing, I read a ton of these reviews to know what I was up against. The issues that stuck out to me was the color and the whistling noise from the wind on the under side of the cross bar. Ok. For $43 I can't complain. So I bought them. Right out of the packaging I was impressed. 2 keys that worked for all 4 locks. They seem sturdy. Simple and effective design. I did notice the "tunnel" on the bottom side of both cross bars. I figured this is what was causing the wind noise. So... I took some aluminum foil tape (x2) and covered the tunnel. It made for an almost smooth surface for wind to glide past, inside of trapped in the tunnel whistling. Now the color. I have a white 2016 Jeep Cherokee 75 anniversary off-road package (charcoal grey and black molding and tires). I didn't want this silver look to the cross bars. So I went to walmart and bought a $6 can of matte black plastidip and painted everything except the clamps (3 coats). Let it dry and set for 48 hours, then installed. I haven't heard any whistling from 0-85mph. They are strong enough to hold my rack on top of the suv. I'll come back in the Spring to update this review. That's when I'll start really putting some wear and tear on these bars.
