Saab Roof Rack & High-Pitched Whistle at ca. 50-60 mph
Posted by C. Carter Ruml (more from C. Carter Ruml) on Tue, 15 Jun 2004 10:02:07

I recently bought a '97 900S with about 80k miles on it -- love the car. It has a "official" pair of Saab roof rack bars attached to the roof. I am wondering if others could tell me -- are the bars the cause of a high-pitched -loud- whistle that starts sometime, but not all the time, when I am traveling at about 50 to 60 mph and gets more intense the faster I go, but stops once I slow down again below 50 mph? If I crack the sunroof to ventilation position or open it slightly, the whistle goes away, which makes me think it has something to do with the air flow between the roof rack bars and the roof itself. If I take off the bars, will the noise go away? If yes, how do I take the bars off/is it a big deal to have them taken off? Any perspectives are much appreciated.
Best wishes,
ccruml
