Bike rack wind noise...(also posted on the 9000 board)

I have a '96 9K Aero and recently purchased and installed a Thule bike rack system with the 589 (velo vise) bike carrier, and now the wind noise when the roof is open is amazing. When the weather affords it I typically have the roof open 95% of the time, but now I am finding the noise from the wind to be unbearable. Would the farring that Thule sells help this problem, or would an the wind screen (proper name?) for the moon roof help? Any advice or recommendations would be appreciated.
Also, and this question may seeem silly and is not necessarliy related to wind noise question, but would the aerodynamics be improved if I moved the bike carrier to the center of the rack system?
Thanks.
