Any crossbar issues?

[Nord]

I had Thule Aero bars on my old car and at first they would whistle like crazy around 40 mph. There's a little rubber strip that goes in the groove on the top of the bars and once I had that properly adjusted I loved them. I would have bought them again but I thought the oem bars looked decent and I found them on Amazon for $131.99.

Mine came loose and made a annoying noise...I brought it back and they put a new one on. Fine for about 10,000 miles...Just recently I noticed back one is loose again and makes noise/vibration when it goes over bumps. Due for my oil change tire rotation soon, will have them fix it then. I put a thule on them and they have worked great. I have about 15,000 miles on the r

What is the weight capacity of the OEM bars? After a fair amount of searching, the only other option I have found is Thule but not their heavy duty bars (150#) capacity. I run a full sized packasport box in the winter typically loaded with skis.

Our xl is expected to arrive this week, so I need to decide between OEM and aftermarket
