In strong headwinds at interstate speeds >70mph, I get a humming vibration sound from the plastic front edge of the roof rack (the wind fairing). I've checked to make sure nothing is loose. I was thinking about trying some of this rubber edging along the lower edge closest to the roof, which is where I think the vibration is happening, to see if it might make a difference... will report back.

Anyone noticed this vibration sound?

That looks promising, where did you find it?

I was going to do a db level with some gaffer's tape but that looks like a more better solution.
 
Installed the adhesive rubber trim and drove my usual 60 miles out and back commute. Its seems to have solved the high frequency vibration and noise that was coming from the roof rack fairing. Hardly noticeable as you look at the vehicle and rack. We'll see if it holds up and can stand up to a long Road trip to ski in New Mexico!
