Just curious (and I did a search but didn't find anything), but does anyone make a wind deflector for the factory roof rack? Just to make it a little quieter at highway speeds? Lots of aftermarket roof racks come with wind deflectors, just wasn't sure if anyone made one for the factory rack.

Thanks mods for moving to the right sub-forum (y)

Curious to see if anyone who has purchased and installed this wind deflector has noticed a reduction in wind noise? I feel like Aunt Bethany in Christmas Vacation, with all of the wind and road noise when driving my Bronco I can't carry on a conversation. It is not quite as loud as my old soft top TJ, but not far behind. I have done the pipe insulation on the sides of the front and middle roof panels. That helps but need to do more to reduce the noise.

I had this on my previous bronco:
https://badasstents.com/product/2021-23-ford-bronco-wind-deflector-for-oem-roof-rack/
https://www.bronco6g.com/forum/threads/badass-tents-wind-deflector-for-oem-bars.52089/

But, I really only used it when I had the yakima platform on which caused a TON of noise. The deflector definitely cut down on that. I don't remember it making too much difference with the stock 2 door rails and cross members.


And I forgot to update that thread as I'd sold the previous Bronco.. the adhesion promoter + 3m tape worked great to finally get it to stay stuck.
