honestly fed up with this noisy universal rack I bought, it whistles so loud on the highway and feels flimsy as hell. I need a solid replacement before our family camping trip in two weeks.
- fits a 2022 Enclave
- quiet at high speeds
- budget around 350 bucks
Anyone have a brand they actually trust?

Like someone mentioned, those budget bars are okay, but in my experience, they dont have the thickness to stay quiet. Over the years, I've found that cheap sets vibrate way too much on the highway. I suggest checking these:
- Malone AirFlow2 Roof Rack Aluminum 50 inch
- Aero-foil shape kills the whistling
- Built-in locks are included
- More rigid feel than the generic options

I'm always a bit paranoid about safety after a cheap set I had years ago started rattling on a bridge. That was a nightmare. BougeRV Lockable Aluminum Cross Bars for Buick Enclave ended up being my choice. They're way sturdier than generic universal stuff and havent budged in two years. Quick tip: lube the bolts during install so they dont seize up later.

I've been really happy with my Brightlines Crossbars for 2018-2023 Buick Enclave.
- no whistling
- very secure
- fits perfect No complaints tho, they work well and feel safe.
