So, earlier this week, I finally test drove an OT+ with the roof rack. I found that, at highway speed, there was some wind noise which resembled a low tone occasional whistle which was more noticeable than just wind itself. It wasn't overly distracting, but it was there. I would have to see if it's something I would sublimely tolerate as a regular driver over time. My initial reaction is that I wouldn't remove it due to noise but won't know for sure until then. Now, as far as fitting in my garage, that would be another thing.... Overall, I was extremely impressed with the vehicle. Thanks for all the responses to my post. Hope this helps all of you.
