MB OEM Roof Rack Wind Deflector

Anyone know where to get a wind deflector for the MB roof rack. I think it is Thule but they don't seem to know.


TIA

Thule says it is not Thule. Dealer says Yakima but it does not look like it at all.
Waiting for a call back from Yakima.
Will advise.

OK not Yakima either per Yakima. They only make round bars.
Funny looks a lot like the aero bar from Thule. Anyway, still waiting for someone out there who knows. MB is no help at all.

well its about that time of year again I've put the rack back on the car. The whistling is already beginning to annoy me so if anyone knows if there is a universal deflector or something similar to attach a wind fairing to try to reduce the noise?

Any Solutions??

Has anyone come up with a solution to this problem? I am interested in purchasing a MB roof rack for my W211, but if the OEM roof rails are noisy I may consider going with Thule or Yakima because of the available fairings.


Anyone have suggestions?
