So I finally added some felt to the good latch bumpers on my 2004 X, and the squeak was gone!
Now, I can hear the roof basket making a constant super annoying squeaking noise in rough roads. All the bolts are tight, I’m wondering if maybe a padded liner has deteriorated?? There’s space between the basket and the bar mount, anyone had this squeaking basket issue?
It’s right above my head when I drive, it’s driving me nuts!

its likely the seal between the roof rack/basket and the roof

See if the seal is gone on the wind deflector

I took the wind deflector off my 2004 to clean out years of debris, the rubber gasket type thing was deformed and worn but I put it back, it’s on the list of parts to replace but I want to know about the latch bumper fix. I’ve been hearing plenty of squeak but having difficulty pinpointing the location.
