ABSTRACT:
A luggage rack (14) of the type suitable for installation on the roof (12) of an automotive vehicle (10) is improved through the addition of a mechanism for reducing the noise generated by wind passing over cross members (16,18) of the luggage rack (14). The mechanism is a strip (34) having irregular outer surfaces (40,42) secured to outer surfaces of at least one of the cross members (16,18). The irregular surfaces (40,42) operate to vary the cross section of the cross member (16,18) as it extends transversely of the vehicle (10), and the strip (34) may be formed as a tape having an adhesive layer (36) for securement to the luggage rack (14).
