Sounds logical in an illogical way, the bootl/trunk on the crz is really long, the gaps down the sides of the lid are wide also, which in side winds creates whistling noises, which is a little UN settling when you first hear them, the gaps on mine with the adjustable stops Set fully down are still wide enough to poke a small finger through
