    I've had this happen when air gets under the seal between the
    luggage rack and the roof of the van, causing drumming or vibration
    of the fiberglass.<br>
    The solution that worked for me was to check that the seal was good,
    replace it if worn. Sometimes coating the seal with rubber
    rejuvenator helps. Also, loosen and re-tighteningthe screws holding
    the luggage rack. Put some downward pressure on the rack while
    tightening the screws.<br>
