I’ve got my crossbar all the way forward because of loading the canoe on and off several times per week. It takes a tool to move the crossbar so not practical to move it back and forth too frequently. Wind noise is the exact same in both positions. LOUD.To anyone who has mounted their forward crossbar in both front and middle positions: do you notice a difference in wind noise on hwy? I'm thinking about getting the extra crossbar. (And yes, I know I could just move the middle one... I've gotta find some use for those Ford pts after all...)
Bronco is already about as aerodynamic as a brick, so I doubt it would have much effect on mpg... but I've read somewhere that wind noise is worse in the forward position.
Only drawback to leaving them forward all the time is you can’t take the roof panels off unless you move the crossbar back.
