AeroGrips (1) Pack | Stop Crossbar Whistle
NXTGEN AeroGrips (1) Pack
Our uniquely engineered stick-on strips serve a few important purposes, such as to stop roof rack and crossbar whistling, provide a rubberized grip to better hold cargo in place and prevent scuffing or scratching from unprotected crossbars and roof racks.
Add premium functionality to almost any crossbar with NXTGEN AeroGrips.™ OEM and aftermarket crossbars that include similarly grooved aerodynamic rubber strips are typically high-end models, which often cost significantly more than average. Usually the biggest difference between two types of well constructed, excellent fitting crossbars is this single feature and hundreds of dollars in additional costs.
Some of the most common complaints about roof racks and crossbars are whistling noises above certain speeds and a lack of protective or rubberized grips. NXTGEN AeroGrips™ rectifies these issues with one simple, cost-effective product, adding premium functionality to almost any roof rack or cross bar system not already equipped with this feature, saving you a lot of money and making your cross bars easier to use.

What is roof rack or crossbar whistle?
Many crossbars or roof racks that do not have grooved rubber pieces will create a whistling noise over certain speeds. As long as your cross bars are installed correctly, have all gaps sealed and they are not missing any pieces, our grooved rubber strips will take this whistle away. It is important to not confuse crossbar whistle with elevated wind noise. All added pieces to your roof will create extra wind noise and our AeroGrips will not reduce this. AeroGrips are designed to stop the whistling noise associated with smooth airflow. A wind faring can be used in addition to our AeroGrips to both stop the whistling and reduce the added turbulence from your roof racks. If you are hearing excessive wind turbulence or buffeting, a fairing is the correct tool to reduce this. AeroGrips and wind fairings are intended to work together and they are not substitutes for one another.
How It Works
Stop Crossbar Whistle
Smooth airflow over an airfoil-like surface, such as a crossbar, causes drag and in many instances, whistling noises. While some crossbar designs are more aerodynamic than others, smooth airflow over crossbar surfaces will always cause a whistle.
Properly installing NXTGEN AeroGrips™ to crossbars that do not have grooved aerodynamic strips will eliminate this whistle.
Adds A Grippy Surface
AeroGrips make it easier to keep things in place and tie them down with a grippy surface that protects your items from scuffing.

“I’ve got to be honest. I was skeptical buying this at first. I went ahead and bought two of them. I put mine on a 2020 Nissan Armada. This completely stopped my whistle instantly. If you have a whistle, I suggest trying this”

“I was having an annoying whistle from the roof rack on my Tesla Model Y. Found these on Tesla Motors Club and they took the whistle away. Thank You!”

No more howling, whistling crossbars!! We purchased a new Mazda CX-50 with factory crossbars and had to remove them from the car within the first week because we couldn’t stand the howling and whistling coming from the crossbars. I came across this product but wasn’t sure with only 3 reviews, I had some doubts but figured I would give it a try, WOW, it really worked!! Best thing is you can barely even notice its there, it looks like it’s supposed to be there from the factory. We’re so glad this worked and able to keep the crossbars on full time now!

Incredible Value
When analyzing 3 sets of vehicle specific crossbars with similar shape, attachment method, fitment, profile and weight ratings, one of the most notable differences is the lack of rubberized aerodynamic strips. With NXTGEN AeroGrips™, consumers no longer need to pay ultra-premium prices for this feature.
* Please Note: NXTGEN, Inc does not manufacture roof rack crossbars and is not associated with any entities that design or create crossbars.
