OEM MB Roof Bars Whistle
Bought MB's OEM roof bars with my new E450 wagon and they whistle insanely loud at highway speeds. I've read similar reports online and it seems they don't have the leeway to move forward and back on the roof rails like others I've owned. Curious if anyone else has had this experience? Seeing if my dealer will take them back and likely going to switch to Thule

... Whistle from OEM roof rack/bars
Our 2023 E-450 has the roof rack/bars, which are mostly audibly absent. Open the sunroof, that's another question. .. I'd order the wagon taking delivery with the 2 OEM roof bars in place.
The wagon is now a little over a year old. ..
