>cover for luggage rack

I'm really surprised too that no one has done this yet...  Seems simple
enough to make one out of just about anything, even just canvas would
help.  I'm thinking about stopping by a buddies metal shop this weekend
and try making one out of a thin sheet of aluminum...  maybe make it so
it hinges off the front strap attachment points so when I do put stuff (
usually firewood) up there it's work like an air deflector.

Honestly I think the only reason I've never done it is because I always
"wanted" to put a solar panel up there...

I suspect a lot the wind noise comes from the turblance caused at the
join between the fiberglass top and the metal body...  it's not a very
smooth join.
