They are so well designed than despite being tightened down so tight that it can't possibly budge, I can slide a credit card between the rack plastic and the glass on the roof. Virtually zero wind noise until I put my bicycle and a surfboard/padding on then its like a hurricane as expected. I love these roof racks! So much better than the Model S Whisbars. I thought the whisbars were loud and dont think I will notice the Model 3 wind noise. I heard a little around 60 mph but went away at 65. It is much much quieter than the model S whisbars. It is also lower on the outside and the foot pads are more aerodynamic than the model S whisbars. I was surprised that it was slightly wider across than the model S rack, and will easily hold 2 side by side surfboards or a bicycle and a surfboard. It has the groove for the whisbar/Yakima bicycle rack.

I also felt it was easier to put on than the model S because the length required no adjustment. There is still a small space between the glass and the rack plastic so I felt that no pressure was applied to the glass.

I never did approach reach the full 8nm on my torque wrench. If you just grasp the bolt with pliers and pull it taught, I found there were at least 4 or 5 thread revolutions, if not more. Had no trouble with the length of the threads.bolt. The attachments to the footpad, bar length, bar width and height are different. Well I could see no way to use any of my model S Whisbar rack parts.
