A little OT, but - does your Thule whistle loudly? PM me if no - would like to know your setup…
There is some wind noise off of it over 65mph, but there's also wind noise at the same speeds when I just have the crossbars installed without the box. Right now I'm using the BMW OEM F15 bars and want to get aero bars once they come out to see if that helps. I've seen mixed reports on their availability. I think that may help some. You aren't going to be able to get away from the wind noise with a roof box, but I didn't think it was terrible after about 8 hours round trip. The Mickey Mouse Clubhouse blaring from the back seat was more annoying....😂
