Just put door edge molding in the fins, it will stop the sound do the entire top bottom and middle fins, then cut 4" slivers and randomly place them on the remaining fins

Update feb 2018: Success - it was the tilt!!
I had tried the door trim approach on the lower 3 fins, from end to end, without success. I read today about a number of different approaches on the fins: foam, caulk, weather strip, garage door strip, deflector, etc. All had mixed reviews.
Today, after reading all of that, I went out and tilted my bar forward, by about 10-15 degrees, pointing it more at the nose of the jeep (vs. straight ahead). MAGIC. No more whistle!
I seriously just want to go drive aimlessly around town, and listen to the sweet, sweet hum of my tires (which I haven't heard up to this point due to the light bar).
Not knocking the other approaches, but PLEASE, PLEASE at least give this one a try - it could very well save time/money (for other worthwhile mods )
