    Has anyone had both? I've read that the Hooke Road roof rack is really bad for wind noise. Is the Prinsu actually going to be much better? Trying to decide if I can justify the price difference.

    Any roof mounted racks will create noise unless they are foldable like OEMs, regardless of brand. Wind deflector helps a little but unavoidable. Hooke Road racks seem to have a good size thread on TW but I went with Prinsu and would buy again given both options. My mentality has always been you get what you paid for but seems a fairly amount of TW members are happy with their Hooke Road racks.
