Translucent status bar overlapping UITableView content

Question

So, my search bar looks like this and it is invoked via a UISearchController. It's all working fine except for one thing.

Scrolling down the search list will show the results under the status bar as it is transparent, like this

I've used a couple of "ugly" fixes to get this looking and working as it and the problem clearly lies within the translucent = true - parameter. Can anyone see a quick solution to my problem? Other than jsut putting another empty, non-transparent view on top and make it white ofc. I've had another issue earlier today and the solution to this problem is the reason why this happens..

func willPresentSearchController(searchController: UISearchController) {

    if let navBarFont = UIFont(name: "HelveticaNeue-Light", size: 25.0) {
        let navBarAttributesDictionary: [String: AnyObject]? = [
            NSForegroundColorAttributeName: PinkColor,
            NSFontAttributeName: navBarFont
        ]
        self.navigationController?.navigationBar.titleTextAttributes = navBarAttributesDictionary
    }

    self.navigationController?.navigationBar.translucent = true
    self.navigationController?.navigationBar.barTintColor = UIColor.whiteColor()
    self.navigationController?.navigationBar.backgroundColor = UIColor.whiteColor()
    searchController.searchBar.backgroundColor = UIColor.whiteColor()
    self.navigationController?.navigationBar.topItem?.title = "Find Friends"
    self.refreshControl?.backgroundColor = UIColor.whiteColor()
    self.refreshControl?.tintColor = self.GrayColor
}
func willDismissSearchController(searchController: UISearchController) {

    if let navBarFont = UIFont(name: "HelveticaNeue-Light", size: 25.0) {
        let navBarAttributesDictionary: [String: AnyObject]? = [
            NSForegroundColorAttributeName: UIColor.whiteColor(),
            NSFontAttributeName: navBarFont
        ]
        self.navigationController?.navigationBar.titleTextAttributes = navBarAttributesDictionary
    }

    UIView.animateWithDuration(0.3) { () -> Void in
        self.navigationController?.navigationBar.translucent = false
        self.navigationController?.navigationBar.backgroundColor = self.PinkColor
        self.navigationController?.navigationBar.barTintColor = self.PinkColor
        searchController.searchBar.backgroundColor = self.PinkColor
        self.refreshControl?.backgroundColor = self.PinkColor
        self.refreshControl?.tintColor = UIColor.whiteColor()
        self.navigationController?.navigationBar.topItem?.title = "Friends"
    }
}

Try this:

self.edgesForExtendedLayout = UIRectEdgeNone;
