bon jour!

I have a quite annoying problem that I experienced last year and will face in 1-2 weeks time (holiday).
When I put our Thule roof box (coffre de toit) on our new 807 and went for holiday a quite annoying experience started. whenever I drove faster than cca 70km/h the box and/or the bars started to make a permanent horrible creaky noise. All in all I drove around 3000 km in such a condition, after a while I hated to sit in the car and drive. I tried some tricks, e.g. I put clothes between the bars and the box, etc but nothing helped.
on my previous car I used the same box without any problem and noise. On that car I had classic metal bars while on the peugeot there are these fancy plastic bars. I have no doubt that the problem stems from the fact the plastic bars are not solid enough and creak when an other plastic weight is put on them.
do you have any good advice how to avoid this noise that drives me and my family crazy
Merci, Somazo
