Any ideas how I can fix the whistle in the back at above 45mph? Would a wind fairer up top help or are the holes in the side panels contributing a lot as well?

Take it off? Let's see, how does a whistle work? Wind blowing through a small hole creates a whistle sound. So yes the panel holes will whistle. you could tape the holes up or remove the panels. Even a spoiler on the top will not eliminate the wind around the sides .

My guess, yes the panel holes will whistle, try some duct tape?

Update, bungee cord on top helped the volume quite a bit. Really only hearing it above 50 now. Will tackle the holes soon!

Maybe it’s the bolts? Try smoother ones like low profile or button head bolts. Just a guess. Also looks like you can knock those mesh cut panels off. Sick bar though.

How about making an X with 2 bungee cords on the outside. Might disrupt the wind enough.

Maybe add some bells to compliment the whistle? I would go back to the manufacture and let them fix the design flaw. That would help you, them, and anyone else who would be interested in the product.
