I want to get some roof racks for my gen 4 wagon. The plan is to mount up to three bike racks or one luggage pods, will probably go for Thule. My wagon already has the factory roof rails.

I want something that's sleek + quiet + mounts well on the factory roof rails + compatible with Thule/other bike rack systems. I've narrowed down the options to these two units:

Has anyone here used these before? How did they perform in terms of wind noise, mounting, etc?

It's my first time buying a roof rack system so if there are traps for the uninitiated please let me know, thanks.

I've got the through bar version of the prorack whispbars.
I have two thule outride561 mounted.
I'll try and upload and photo for you.
Or send me your number in a pm and I'll send you a photo.

I have the Wispbar fixed mounts for my Gen V.
They are as advertised, very quiet.

I use them with an Thule claw/clamp pod (Atlantis I think) and ski clamps too (Aldi knock offs of Thule).

I am planning on getting a couple of Thule 591's which are advertised to fit the Wispbars as they have the T slot.

The through bars have a bit more width but the fixed mounts should fit 3 bikes easy.
Plus the fixed mounts look a lot smoother!

Thanks for the advice.

Also had a good chat with Niksta who gave me the heads up that the wagon boot won't open if the 561 isn't mounted reversed. No clearance issues with sunroof though.

Both you you said the whispbar is as quiet as it gets so I think I'll hunt around for a deal on one.
