Replying to: robcanaz (Feb 17, 2009 1:17 pm) Can you tell where the sound is coming from? Engine? Doors? Roof? Ventilation? Other?   tidester, host SUVs and Smart Shopper

Replying to: robcanaz (Feb 17, 2009 1:17 pm) Your whistling noise is likely caused by the positioning of the luggage rails.....try repositioning them more toward the back of the vehicle or, to be sure of the cause, remove all together and test drive. I have a 1999 with the exact same whistle and it proved to the be rails.....good luck! Replies to this message: la4mead (Feb 18, 2009 8:39 am)

Replying to: neumie2000 (Feb 18, 2009 5:36 am) I took my luggage rails off from the beginning. I haven't had a reason to put them back on since. I wonder about trivial things like why anyone keeps them on when not in use in any vehicle. Someday I'll use them again, perhaps. But I'd remove them when done. It's easy. I also wonder how much the small amount of wasted fuel from leaving them up there would add up to after all this time.   Perhaps that's the wind noise you're experiencing, and it's worth looking at.
