    I have a Yakima rack installed on my truck with the Q towers. I am getting wind noise where the clips are clipped on. I have tried both clipping them on and under the weather stripping, but neither seems to help.

    Anybody else have/had the same issue?

    I have 4 towers and I hear no noise at all......maybe worn weatherstripping? My truck has about 160,000 miles. Mine are installed over the strip also

    That crossed my mind. My truck has over 325,000. I will go ahead and replace them. It couldn't hurt, anyway.
