Default Tilt-and-slide sunroof and roof rack

With the new design of the opening tilt-and-slide sunroof, will this interfere with using the optional roof rails/rack?

No, at least not if you use the Lexus setup, which is fairly high off the roof line.

(pardon the rather crummy pic)

Do you notice significant greater wind noise while driving with the racks installed?

What is the height of the rack bars off the roof? I want to know if my paddle boards on the rack will fit through my garage doors.

It is a little under 6 inches above the top of the car... Actually, closer to 5.5... but I wasn't paying much attention to accuracy. Garage too hot!

Just installed my roof racks today and noticed wind noise at 60mph. A high pitch humming sound. Anyone else experience the same?

Default Bars

Make sure that they are in the right spot, there is a front one and a back one.
No noise with my bars

Yes the rubber inserts installed too. I placed the front bar closer to the back on the 3 hole orientation if that makes any difference (this puts bar spacing closer together)
