Zusammenfassung:A crossbar assembly for a roof rack configured to be selectively attached to a vehicle, the crossbar assembly is shown and described. The crossbar includes a body having a length and cross-sectional profile with a generally aerofoil shape. The cross-sectional profile may include a base portion attached to a nose portion. The nose portion may include a leading edge having a rounded profile. A first plane surface may extend rearwardly from the leading edge at an upward angle and terminate at a first shoulder. A second plane surface may extend rearwardly from the leading edge at a downward angle and terminate at a second shoulder. The crossbar may be configured to be mounted to an associated vehicle and reduce wind noise across the nose portion and base portion of the body.
